Realistic win rate at small stakes?
 

I've been playing 3-6 recently at my local cardroom and have been averaging 4BB/hr. My sample is pathetic, <200hrs, so I'm quite skeptical at my results. What is a realistic winrate at this level?

A lot of things go into defining a reasonable win rate. If you are asking what an experienced, solid player who has been winning for 2000 hours of live play at 35 hands per hour of $3/$6 limit hold'em with an average table of players that see the flop about 30% of the time................ 1.5 big bets per hour

A nice game with some weaker players and a shuffle machine on the table: 2.5 BB per hour

I will tell you quite conservatively so that my statement is basically never wrong any time you walk into the B&Ms in Edmonton:
On average in a session, at least 60% of the players see each flop.

My game is probaly atleast 50% to see the flop and every table seems to have two or three(on average) who'll chase any draw down to the river and then fold facing one more big bet.

bigbet X 1.5......or $6 X 1.5= $9

30% seeing the flop in a live 3/6 game is so tight that you should change tables if at all possible. 60% would be closer to the norm. I think 3-4 BB/hr minus dealer tokes is not unrealistic.
