6 BB/100 at .5/1 is Sustainable: True or False?
Maybe I'm just running good lately, but I'm at 3.9BB/100 over my last 14k hands at .5/1. (probably around 3 BB/100 over 45k (not sure, lost database.)) During this last stretch, I've been played mostly at only 1 table (while doing other stuff on the side), and some 2 tables while fully concentrating on them. Very little 3 tabling. (I don't even try to 4 table. I can't keep up, especially since I like to play around 27-30VPIP.) I catch myself making quite a few mistakes. I think that if I played a little better, I could reach 5BB/100. By the time I really play pretty good, I don't think an average of 6BB/100 is out of the question.
I think 5 to 6BB/100 is a lofty but realistic goal for .5/1, assuming one didn't move up in limits before they got there. Agree? Disagree? Thoughts?

It's absolutely realistic if you are the best player at your table at all times.
Negreanu said his hourly rate back in the day was $46 playing 10/20 live up in Canada. Which is probably equivalent to like 6BB/100 hands, right?

TomBrooks =! Daniel Negreanu [/ QUOTE ] Absolute skill is irrelevant. I would contend that I might be a better player vs the average 0.50/1.00 player than DN was AT THE TIME he played 10/20 in good ole Canada. I played 0.50/1.00 for about 25k hands when I moved from 4 to 8 tables, and beat it for over 5/100. Though I could have easily run pretty well. I would say that 5/6 BB/100 is not unthinkable for a 1 tabler, no. But... anyone who beats that game for 6 BB at one table is lame, because they could be multitabling and moving up for more money.

Shouldn't you be reading the SMALL STAKES forum?
Also, I didn't imply absolute skill was relevant, although it may have appeared that way.

46/20 is a little more than 2. His rate I believe was more like 76 or 86 per hour playing 10/20. But yes at .5/1 6BB is sustainable if you use good table selection methods.

[/ QUOTE ] $76/hour at 10/20 works out to about 11BB/100, and is absurd.
