Default B&M Hourly rates for $2/$5 NLHE

Just curious what you guys are making per hour if you're a winning NLHE player at a live cardroom with 2/5 blinds.

Someone told me that a winning 1/2 player would probably move up before sample size allowed a reasonable calculation of winrate, and that they would move to 2/5.

Therefore I ask about the 2/5 winrates.

Please answer if you can.

--Dave.

I deal 2/5 Hold Em four days a week. I am not sure if it can be beaten due to the nature of the house take + tips + bad beat allocation. 2/5 tends to have bigger tippers in the game coupled with a 3 dollar to 3.50 drop and a 1 to 2 dollar bad beat drop. From my limited experiance (3 1/2 years) I have yet seen a person beat the game CONSISTANTLY. Hope this helps =o)

This is a bad joke.

Small live NL games are some of the most crushable games being spread at the moment. Perhaps you don't realize that you don't need to win every night to have a real nice win at the end of the year.

It sounds like your local 2/5 game would be a goldmine if any of us could find it.

It really depends on the texture of the game more than anything else. In my experience, sustained winrates of $40+/hr are entirely possible by excellent players in good but not fantastic games.

I believe this entirely. I actually had an hourly rate going of ~$40 at a 1/2 nl game over a period of three months. It has since dropped some, due to some cold sessions, but I am supremely confident that it can be brought back up, even at the lower level NL.

Is this based on actual meticulous record keeping?

If so over how many hours?

Yes.

Enough.

I'm not going to engage in a winate accuracy dick-swinging contest. I've been playing for long enough to understand the difference between a sustainable winrate and a heater. $40/hr is completely feasible in a good game.

I agree. The Bellagio $2/$5 NL is free money. $25-$50 per hour, depending on the number of WPT watchers at the table. IMHO, due to my rather lackluster accomplishments at the limit $15/$30 (>$30 hour), it is an easy decision to play the NL game, especially with a much lower variance and BR requirement.

In the long run, it is tough thinking that I need to get to $30/$60 AND improve to equal the $2/$5 NL or just a couple tables of multi-table online. MMMMMMMMM [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
