50 an hour at 3/6 is probably not sustainable.

If you have a rake rebate, you don't have to be a world-class player to make $50 per hour playing 3/6 online.

For all those who didnt insinuate that I am a lier. I have decided to move up to 5/10 the next time I'm in vegas. My bankroll is plenty big enough now. (started w/$40) And by the way, I'm not interested in 'sustaining' that kind of profit at a 3/6. I was simply using that as an example of how good a table can be. It seems to be the norm in Vegas more than a rarity based on my very limited time there. I am by no means making a statement of how good or bad my play is. I would never do that in this sea of critics. If all the players at the upper levels are 'grinding' out 1 BB per hour they are probably better card players than me. I dont need that kind of play when I'm in vegas for 3 days. I need the players that stay to the end because they have big egos or they just like to gamble. I strive to take my ego out of the game until after I'm done playing, then, I can gloat to myself later about that great hand, etc. That answer about "bigger stakes = more money, Nuff said", is ridiculous. Doesnt address my question at all.
There may not be an answer other than to play at a level I'm comfortable at that is still loaded with loose, uneducated players.

You're not actually making $50/hr. No one can at 3/6 (playing live).

Maybe my math was off. I bought $100 in chips and cashed in $250 in chips after 3 hours. That doesnt count drink tips and dealer tips. I'm amazed that you remember me at that table at the Aladin that particular afternoon. Are you the Asian lady that was managing the poker room that day? Do you remember exaclty how many chips I cashed out, maybe I am mistaken.

I mean seriously, you 'experts' have never seen 3 idiots chase cards all the way to the river? Jeeze, doesnt take a rocket scientist to take money from a table like that. I'm beginning to doubt that some of these guys know anything about vegas. Maybe they are just poker forum hounds?

You don't think your sample size is a bit small?

My experience with the middle limit games in Las Vegas is that in general the locals are playing not to lose, the games are quite beatable. Easier than the SoCal games I normally play in. Which is another way of saying, bigger limits = bigger returns.

You can't beat a 10-20 game for 1.5 big bets per hour.

I would stick to the 3-6. You'll lose less there.
