Default crushing the microlimits?!?!

People in this forum writes a lot about crushing the microlimits. That's great but how many BB/100 should you win before you can say that you're crushing the game.

I'd say 4BB/100 is crushing it.

You win, on average, 4 big bets every 100 hands. As long as you're in the black, be happy.

This may be true for $.50/1, but 2/4 is considered micro as well. And from what I've seen of these games (On Paradise) 4BB/100 would be highly improbable (over 30k hands.) I would be happy with anything over 1BB/100.

relative to sample size. around here it seems people like the 10k sample size. evaluate then. if you have a lot less than that, your BB/100 can go up and down quickly and won't give a proper picture.

From the Microlimit FAQ

[ QUOTE ]
Win-rate: The number everyone is concerned about and the number we can do nothing about. Be happy with anything above 0 BB / 100 hands. The measure used is big bets per 100 hands. This accounts for multi-tabling and limit differences whereas $/hr gives you no real indication of success. Don't fret with something below 0 BB/100 if you have a small sample size. Variance and downswings happen and they can be quite large (200+ BB losses) and extend over a long period of time (10K+ hands). Your winrate will decrease as you move up in limits. Since its asked all the time, a 3 BB/100 winrate at .50/1.00 (online) is often regarded as great. 6 BB/100 is probably unsustainable. Once you reach 2/4 (online), 2 BB/100 is great for the long term and 4 BB/100 may be unsustainable. Also, you will be a loser from the blinds. The blind commitment is too great to overcome by solid play.
