Good Win Rate: BB/100

[Salva135]

Someone posted this under the poker theory section, but the question was not nearly specific enough, so I thought I'd narrow it down for the folks here:

Anything positive.

[benneh]

my winrate is about 2.8ish, so i picked 2-3.

I didn't see the limits you posted though. for those i would put 3-5.

[@bsolute_luck]

i picked >5 because it is a good win rate....good luck keeping it up there for the long term, but doesn't change the fact that it's good [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Anyone who makes less than 6BB/100 sucks at poker.

Your range is too broad for such a question. I think top players could beat something like .25/.5 on Paradise or Pacific for more than 5 BB/100 (hell I did that when I was playing there -- I ran g00t!), but if someone could beat Stars 1/2 full for more than 3-4BB/100, they are either on the heater of their life (getting good cards AND other people getting decent second-best hands), or they steal like crazy and have the post-flop skills to play g00t (and if that is the case, they could probably play much higher).

"At a typical online micro-limit Limit HE table (.25/.50 through $1/$2), what can be considered a solid win rate over 10K + hands?"

Still too broad of a question. A good player should have over 3 BB/100h at the micros -- and that's as specific as one could get to your question.

"Typical": Party .5-1 is very different from Stars and UB .5-1. There is no typical. Compare UB 1-2 to Party 6-max .5-1 and you've got two extremely different games.

.25-50 will play looser and more passively than 1-2, such that a player that could crush .25-50 might have trouble at 1-2. This is still a big range.

You didn't mention if this was 6-max or ring.

Also, saying "over 10K+ hands" suggests that somehow EV settles down after 10K hands. It doesn't. With a 15BB/100h standard deviation, a player that has a theoretical true EV of 4BB/100h will have results between 1BB/100 and 7BB/100. That's a huge range. Get lucky? 7. Get unlucky? 1. Get really unlucky? Less than 1.

What do you mean by 'solid'? An expert that could make 2BB/100h at 5-10? Or just someone that's good enough to move up another limit?

Let's do the math. Assume we don't suck at table selection: everyone in our full ring game caps every street. Also, assume we don't suck at poker: we win every hand.
<font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre>
9 opponents
x 12 BB (2 preflop, 2 flop, 4 turn 4 river)
x 100 hands
------------
= 10800 BB per 100 hands.</pre><hr />

Anything less and you're playing suboptimal poker; reread SSHE.

agreed, anything less than 10800 bb/100 your should stop playing (unless your &lt;0 bb/100, then stay to help me out)
