how do you calculate BB/hr?

[Jurollo]

Just curious the exact formula to calculate BB/hr

Not sure of your exact question, but hopefully this can help....Keep track of you winnings over a long period of time(lets say 500 hours played). Say you've won $500 in 500 hours playing at $1/$2. So you've won 250 big blinds in 500 hours. So you are averaging .5BB/hr.

it isnt big bet, as in the betting amounts for the river?

and the formula would be:

W/B/H=A

w=winnings, b=big blinds at level you play at, h=hours played, a=your average

It is.

[MicroBob]

ummm...yes it is.
what's to calculate?

in the example given he wins $500 at 1/2.
that equals 250BB's.

if you won that much in 250 hours that would be 1BB/hr.
if you won that much in 500 hours that would be 0.5BB/hr (250BB's in 500 hours)
and so on.


i love these easy math questions that even i can answer!!

You count all the hands dealt by Party and all the other online casinos combined, then multiply by 2. After that, you smoke a joint to relax, then divide by 13. Enter all the calculations in MS notepad, print it. Roll up another joint and smoke it. Drink a full bottle of wine by yourself. Whatever number comes up in your dreams, that's it.

[MicroBob]

well yeah....you could do it that way too i guess.

i didn't want to bore him with the 'shortcut' version.

yes, my mistake. big bet, not big blind

If the formula for this isn't self-evident, you should probably buy a copy of StatKing, which calculates this and all sorts of other useful numbers, like your standard deviation. IIRC, it's somewhere around 20-30 bucks from Conjelco.

I find that BB/second is a much more useful statistic.

My BB/second is .0000034 (let the money roll in /images/graemlins/grin.gif)
