Default Reasonable win rate at $3-6??

I am currently starting to log my hours and winnings for my live game and would like to know a reasonable goal for winrate? I've heard one Big bet per hour is the mark of a good player, but does this apply mostly to higher limits? I'm thinking 2 times the big bet would be feasible in a good 3-6 game. Thank you in advance

Is this in a casino? 2 BB/hr would be almost impossible at 3/6 after rake and tipping. Breaking even would be pretty good.

if it's a home game, 2 BB is possible if you are a good player, I guess.

Yeah, Live game rake is rediculous.

Ah.... someone who hasn't experienced the glory that is the Tunica Goldstrike 3/6 game.

I play 5-10 with a $5 rake and $1 for the bad beat jackpot.

$6 total. Not including tipping a buck when I win a big pot

Is this rake + occasional toke insurmountable at this limit?

The games are full of loose passives.

Remeber that you have equity in the bad beat jackpot, so money dropped to that isn't the same as money that just disappears in rake.

O.K. but is that rake still absurdly high? Would you play in this game if you only had a 300 BB ($3000) roll for 5-10?

I play(ed) a 5/10 game with an identical rake structure, tipped well, and won at a decent rate over a few hundred hours. Small sample of course, but I definitely think it's very beatable.

so true. that game was out of control. I sat in on it at like 3am after drinking whiskey for like ten hours and doing ok in a 10/20 game that broke. I dont even remember parts of it, and still came out ahead. I loved that game. Soon i will be going back with some friends and insituting the "take a flop, take a shot" policy that evan et al came up with in AC.

peace

It started the night before in Princeton when scrub and I polished off the better part af a Jager handle for a reason that I am sure neither of us will ever know. Good times.
