3-4 BB per 100 hands long term (meaning at least 50k hands) for limit.

Per 100 hands is a better measurement because people may play more tables than others, more hours, etc.

Depends on how long you live (and continue to play poker)... it's one long session.

Seriously though, it is better to quantify as BB / N hands. Most use N = 100. Read the other posts, this has been discussed to death all over. 2BB/100 hands is solid, in my opinion.

I think it depends a lot on the limits you are playing. If you are playing 15-30 or 20-40, 2.5 - 3 BB/100 would be good enough in the long run, but if you are playing micro limits like .50-100 than you will probably want to make at least 5-10BB/100.

agreed. at .50/1.00 a solid should have a higher BB/100 rate b/c they are (or should be at least) surrounded by lesser players, whereas at the higher limits you will have a proportionately higher number of opponents equal to you in skill.

I think the other posters may be setting the bar a little too high for you to start out with.

Very few people win at poker in the long run. If your BB/100 is > 0 over 50K+ hands then you are probably a good player. Certainly well above average.

If you want to be a professional and support yourself playing poker, then the numbers given above would apply. 2 BB/100 is a very solid win rate for a recreational player IMO.

That's great for limit , but what is good for NL?

If there is a thread on this already, a link would be awesome, but most of the numbers I have seen have been for limit play.

Can you even gauge NL players the same?

IE. Last night I played: 1/2NL 100 Buy-in left with ~160 for ~5 hrs play live (30 BB for the night... roughly 6BB/hr)... and I know I didn't play anything near 1500 hands (which would give me 2BB/100 hands), but I didn't count hands either. I also know that is one night not 50k hands. But how do you gauge that?

10 PTBB/100 (as in Poker Tracker BB/100) is a bit on the high side but achievable for a select few as a longterm BB/100 (sorta like 4BB/100 for limit).

For the rest of us, 5-8 PTBB/100 longterm is a more attainable NL winrate By longterm I mean at least 50k hands, I've had some pretty wild swings within 15k hands in both directions.
