question for you NL buffs

i don't play NL much at all, and i'm wondering...

what kind of big blind per hour winrate can an expert NL player expect to earn in a good game?

I would say 10-15x would be a reasonable expected winrate.
Competition, type of structure the game is and other things will contribute to skewing this number up/down.

wow I think that # is too high you'd have to be way good or table selection is immaculate.

I don't think that's too high a win rate, at least not for the party poker nl games. my earn for the $25 NL games is well over $5/hour, which is 10x.

I'd have to agree with the 25NL and 50NL but the 100 and 200 is not as much an auto pilot NL game. daryn is like 10/20 player would not be satisfied with the earn at 25NL so what would the earn be for the 100 NL game? 5x BB is pretty reasonable

Maybe 5 x BB an hour if you're playing 3 tables, certainly more than that if you're just playing one.

By the way, it's interesting to note that on PokerTracker when it gives BB/hour for NL PL games, a BB is actually 2 big blinds. Check otu the "misc stats" table, and click help. It says it there, so winning 5 x BB according to poker tracker at a 1/2 game, is really like winning $20 an hour.
