skill difference
I left the SNGs some weeks ago and I'm back playing a variety of 10-handed limit tables...1/2, 2/4, 3/6 and a little 5/10 (I sit when there is an open seat - no particular preference). Maybe because I'm not paying more attention to my games (I surf the net, watch TV, fool around with my girl, etc.), but I'm not seeing a very big difference in play by the other hands. I seem to make about 10-15BB/hr regardless of the table I'm playing (I'm completely comfortable with that - poker isn't my breadwinner). At what level does the table become markedly more difficult to play, or am I just a dope thinking there is some sort of grand scheme?.

Re: skill difference
You're not winning 10-15bb/hr at any of these tables unless you're 10-15 tabling. The marked skill difference overall probably starts to happen at 3/6 online, though in all honesty most players are bad at 3/6 but just tight.

Re: skill difference
is my math wrong...start playing at 9 with $100 at the 1/2. Close up the laptop at 11 with $120. $20 in two hours, $1BB?

Re: skill difference
BB stands for Big Bets, so would be $2 in the 1/2 game.

Re: skill difference
The BB is 2$ meaning you won 5BB/hour which is unsustainable. You can't figure out your winrate from a 2-hour session. :P

Re: skill difference
The answer would be dope...I thought BB was big blinds - my bad. Still...I don't play for much longer than two hours at a time. When (how many hands or hrs)does your win rate become statistically significant. What is a respectable rate at small stakes?

Re: skill difference
Typically people present it as BB/100 hands. Personally I think at 1/2 you should be able to beat it 3-4BB/100 pretty easily. 2/4,3/6 I think 2BB/100 is pretty good, though some do better.

Re: skill difference
You play what...100 hands a day. Maybe 200. Play that every day for the next three years and you might start getting close. I played 2000 hands already this morning. Playing 100 hands a day you'll have months of losing money even if your good.
A respectable rate is really anything positive. But don't expect to make over 3 BB/100 even if you're a solid player...that's about 1.5-2 BB/hr playing 1 table. That would be excellent. Like I said you just had a lucky start. |

Some of the best posters on here run bad for some 50k hands or more, but I'll still respect them and take their advice if their reasoning is sound. |

Re: skill difference
You're math is wrong but you're missing the point. No one wins steadily at half the rate you think you're winning at. If you win at 1/8 of that rate playing one table you're doing well. You just had a lucky start is all.
