Realistic or not?

Is it realistic to consistantly make $3/hr playing .01-.02 pot limit omaha 8/b ?

doubt it... at 20 BB/100 at 4 tables, I think you're hourly rate would be max 60-70 BB/100. That's close ($2.40 - $2.80) but not quite $3; also, achieving 20 BB/100 might be tough over 4 tables.

Even considering the extremely weak play?

I think that it might be close, play at even .10/.20 on prima network was just unbelievable bad when I first started playing. It probably depends on how often and how many people will pay off your scoops. I'd guess that it'd be pretty high playing .01/.02. Where are you playing that, anyway?

maybe if you played short-handed perfectly, you could do better... but it'd be hard to find 4 short-handed tables at that level I'd imagine

Im making $2/hr at .1/.2 PL Omaha 8 and PL Omaha Hi
because the play is so bad they will pay off their
entire stack to you. Mind you Im just practicing my
pl game, because I usually only play limit.

UB usually has 4-5 tables going of .01/.02 and they are incredibly weak..

I played two tables for about 2 1/2-3 hours and went up $22. Every 15-20 minutes a maniac would stroll into one of the tables and pay off scoops.

$3/hour? Jeesh, you guys should all share a job at Walmart.

If you play only one table, your hourly rate will be high, IMO.

UB has the best micro-PLO8, also IMO, out of any of the big sites. I have been experimenting with it lately.

The problem with that hourly rate is that games don't stay good for any length of time. Table hopping and game selection is a huge must. I find UB to have the best games going for the longest period of time.

I have written an article on PLO8 on my website, and am going to follow it up with a 2nd and 3rd part, as soon as I'm finished with the experiment.

Maybe someone will benefit from my research. I'm certainly no pro, but I'm a good researcher.
