What is the Generally Acknowledge BB/hr Win Rate for Online Pros
 

Hey fellas

Yes I did the search, didn't come up with anything in the last year.

I know the Sklansky/Malmuth position was always a big bet per hour or 1 1/2 bets an hour for a B&M pro. What was the equivalent of this for an online game in limit poker? Just wanted a quick ballpark reference. Thanks.

Stake dependent. At 2/4 I'd say 2.0-2.5 BB/100 is doable and not that shabby.

Micros (up to 1/2) 3BB/100

Small stakes (2/4 to 5/10???) around 2BB/100

Higher Stakes anything around 1BB/100 should be considered a success...

online you'll notice everyone charts their bets in hands. Some people can play up to 400 hands an hour, while some people play as little as 60. At 1/2 and 2/4 i average about 3BB/100 hands and it's enough to live off. For me that's about 9 or 10BB an hour at 1/2. I don't play as many tables at 2/4 so my hourly rate is basically the same.

remember only 10% of all players are break even players.

Most good players are in the 1.50BB/100

Every person should strive for 2.00BB/100.

Very good players are in the 2.5BB/100 - rare

Expert players are 3BB/100 and they are very very very few

at 3/6 and below

if someone told me they were 3BB/100 I would not believe them (sorry betadecay). It's not that I think they are lieing but it's just pretty freaking rare over 100,000 hands.

But SOMEBODY has to do it I suppose LOL.

Wow, I just started interacting with other poker players. I thought this was common at 1/2. I have been considering going to 5/10 soon. I guess it's encouraging you think I'm lying. I tried to cut and paste my PT screen but I don't know how to take a screenshot or paste pics.

I just checked my PT. I am 2.85BB/100 since the 14th of this month (recently got PT). Logged over 26,000 hands. At 16K hands i was at 3.4. At the current rate, I would assume my bb/100 will fluctuate between those 2 numbers before evening out at about 3bb/100. There are a handful of other players I have logged over 10k hands on that are above the 2.5 mark.

You are overestimating your sample size. It takes well over 100k hands before your winrate gets close to converging.

these are just my PT stats. I Have been logging my hourly and hand rates manually since june. I have only been playing poker since March, and i just recently became aware of software like PT, and rake back, and bonus whoring. Like I said earlier I only just started interacting with the poker world(other than logging on to a poker site) recently. My rate is still close to 3bb/100 hands at 1/2. This is taking in close to 150k hands.

Re: What is the Generally Acknowledge BB/hr Win Rate for Online Pros
 

3 bb for 150k hands is 4500 bb. I think you should move up to 2/4. You are probably costing yourself a ton of cash playing 1/2.

i play 1/2 and 2/4. I recently dropped back to 1/2 because i started playing 8 plus tables and I am just getting use to the pace. I only have 1 monitor too so it is very hectic. after I get a second monitor I am jumping back up to 2/4. I had only been playing 2/4 for like a month and a half, but I was doing good. I'd like to be at 5/10 by next summer, but am being very cautious with moving up.
