Hourly Rate Question
 

I am going to put $1000 in my Party Poker account and im going to 4 table the 200NL game. With that said, what would be a good/expected hourly rate given that information?

Thanks

If you don't know the answer to this question you probably shouldn't be playing that limit... especially with your super small bankroll.

Re: Hourly Rate Question
 

How much do you have already? I hope its alot cause 1k is only 5 buyins. Multitabling especially is gonna eat that [censored] up. no point in jumping into a big game without the roll.

Re: Hourly Rate Question
 

My bankroll is 25k. I am only putting a grand to begin with so I dont go crazy online and loose it. So I got 25k behind me, but only one grand online.

Re: Hourly Rate Question
 

It doesn't really matter how much you have behind you since you are only willing to risk $1000 (so you don't "go crazy").

This is terrible advice. If you are willing to lose 25k, but maybe want to put some sort of delay involved in losing it all (trying to jump to a NL 2000 game when you know you shouldn't), this is fine. As long as you realize there's a pretty decent chance you'll lose the 1k, and you are fine with it, go for it.

I think that it is funny that no one asked if you know how to play. If you can make $15-20 per hour I would say you are doing well. Remember that that game will lead to volatility in your bankroll, but 25K is plenty. If you are down more than 2K consider moving to a smaller game. The $200 buyin game is where you start to see some ability in your opponents. Good Luck!!!

I am good. Dont worry about my skill. I am just new to the online realm of poker and want to know what kind of hourly rate I can expect by 4 tabling 200NL. Disregard anything about the bankroll etc., I just want to know what kind of hourly rate i sould be striving for!

Thanks again sorry for the confusion

Re: Hourly Rate Question
 

I am playing this limit and the one below (not on party) and my hourly rate is between $15-$23 per hour. I only 2 or 3 table though. If you are new to online, make sure you are comfortable two-tabling first. Then move to 3-tabling, get comfortable with the speed and your performance, and then go to 4-tabling.

Re: Hourly Rate Question
 

23 per hr on each tbl or 23 per hr for all 4 tbls combined? What is recommended and what should u strive for that is attainable?

Re: Hourly Rate Question
 

A good rate for this game is 10x the big blind ($20 per hour). This number is based on many posts in the NL forum where posters have listed their rates, although there was some argument over whether this number should be hourly, or per 100 hands. In my case, I have exceeded this amount in the $25 and $50 NL games, and fallen short in the $100 and $200 games.

I would expect your numbers to fall even further if you are playing four tables. Again, in my case, I can handle three games fairly well, but playing four is not a good increase for me.

Good Luck.

I think you will have a negative expectation. Playing 4 tables is for pros. You should be aiming for a minimum of $10 per hour

Combined. But like I said, I 2 or 3 table. Almost 90% of the time I only 2-table. $20/hr is probably attainable and sustainable.

Go ask this question in the small stakes no limit forum. That's where all the guys who play this limit hang out and you'll get a variety of answers. Hope I helped.

Re: Hourly Rate Question
 

A good player should be able to earn 3 PTBBs (or 6 Big Blinds) per hour/per table. This # will/should go up as you decrease the # of tables you play, and should increase if you are a 6max player. This is a fairly conservative # for NL200 and below.

Re: Hourly Rate Question
 

10PTBB/100 is achievable = 40$/100. 4tabling = 200hands/hour.
Hourly rate = 80$/hour.
Of course this is not easy.

I think anything above 40$/hour is pretty decent.
Anything above 60$/hour is very good
80$/hour is almost pro level(at these stakes)
100$/hour = you shouldnt be playing that low

(I have about 75$/hour but I only 3table, I think this is very good result)

Best wishes
