best win rate while single-tabling 5/10

[Wynton]

I've been playing 5/10 at party for less than a month now, single-tabling. It appears that I'm running quite lucky. But I'm curious how much of it has to do with the fact that I'm playing one table at a time exclusively.

How many bb per 100 hands do you think a good or even excellent player (not me, of course) can achieve at party 5/10, playing only one table at a time?

Playing one table is pretty dumb, man.

I just moved up to 5/10, so I don't think it's dumb for me.

But I'm surprised at your answer. Over an insignificant sample - under 5,000 hands - my rate is something like 4.5, which I assumed was unsustainable, even while playing one table. If that rate is sustainable, though, I might really consider sticking to one table, which I actually enjoy more anyone. Besides, I suspect I'm one of those people whose win rate drops dramaticaly while multi-tabling.

upper theoretical limit is actually 8.442 BB / 100
in practice the limit is about 6.2 BB / 100

If you feel that your game would drop enough that it would not be +EV, there is nothing wrong with sticking to one table.

I love to 6 table the full ring games, but if I get over 3 tables short handed my decisions start to fall off.

My advice to you, do what you know! And the 4.5 is sustainable with the right table selection.

Where did you get these numbers and how?

[helpmeout]

you can easily run at 5bb+ over 20k or 30k hands if not more

just keep trying to improve and dont worry about winrates

as long as you are 2bb+ then you are going ok

You are wrong, it is 8.443bb/100

Sorry. The OP has a 5k sample size, so I only quoted it to 3 significant digits.

I really can't tell if this is a sarcastic post or not. If it's not sarcsastic, then perhaps you could elaborate.

In any event, just in case it's not obvious to everyone, I'm merely asking for ballpark guesses based on personal experiences, rather than hard numbers.

Any other views?
