hourly rate and what not

Including occasional bio breaks, I get about 60 hands/hr per table at the Party $25 and $50 NL.

Wow, that's pretty decent. I've found it to be a little slower than that... I think... I played maybe 30-35k hands of party nl 25 maybe 6-9 months ago.

Someone here says that in order to consider your winrate you should go through a downswing first. GOOD ADVICE!

My first 25k hands were at something like 19ptbb/100, maybe a little less or more. Then I think I lost something like 250-500 over the next 10k hands. It was brutal enough that I quit poker for a bit and then started up again at the 2/4 LHE. I still occassionally splash around in the NLHE games, though. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Pokertracker tells you exactly how much you make an hour. Some math formula involving # of hours played, average number of tables being played during that time, and the amount won.

PT tells you how much you make per table-hour, that is $won/(#tables*hours). If PT says you make $4/hr at 25NL, when you are four tabling, your actual hourly rate is $16/hr.

Another example: say you won two $25 buyins during a 3 hour session while 4 tabling. PT calculates your hourly rate here to be $50/(3 tabes * 4 hours) == $4.16/hr.

This is the only logical way to calculate winrate as a function of time.

In mine it gives both numbers, not just table hours but actual hours as well.

You lost 2.5 to 5 buyins over 10k hands and quit poker? That seems crazy to me. Isn't that just a variance hiccup? I think it gets much worse!

Oh, and shorthanded limit has some nasty stretches of its own, I went 40k hands of breakeven 10/20 6max.

yeah that's kind of ghey

I think I may be running hot at 25NL. I have had one 3 buy in downswing, and one of 4 buy ins. I have dropped 4 buyins in my 1500 hand attempt at 50NL, but think a lot of that is due to sub-optimal play.

Anyway my 25NL and PL numbers are

Hands : 20383
VPIP : 19.49 (I am still too loose from EP)
PFR : 5.87
AF Flop - 2.8
AF Turn - 3.0 (too many second barrels??)
AF River - 2.3
W$SD - 51.5%
Winrate - 14.9PTBB/100

He said he had a $250-500 downswing at 25NL. That is pretty bad for that level.
