I think a truely great player could probably make 3bb/100.

lol 3bb/100 at 2/4 doesn't even make you a "good" player, let alone a "great" one.

I'm not sure what is it that you are implying, Equal. I'd be surprised if you could find very many limit players who are maintaining a winrate of 3BB/100 (even at 2/4) over any sustained period of time.

Late last year and 1st part of this year my w/r at 2/4 was hovering around 3/100. It's now slipped to 2.25/100. Ofcourse the more hands I get, the closer I may be getting to my true w/r. But the 2/4 games are noticeably different now.

Thats not to say they are "tough" but they are tighter. 2 years ago when I was beating the .50/1 for 4/100, I MIGHT have been able to get close to that at 2/4 at THAT time.

I guess the point of this ramble is, I think some players who made their way through the micro's and low limit 2-3 years ago, have a warped sense of what 2/4 is actually like now.

Still very beatable and profitable. But as opposed to having 2-3 players calling you down with hopeless hands, now it might be 1 every now again. That has a big impact on the 2/100 - 3 or 4/100 w/r.

Nice post.

My winrate at 1/2 was 3.4BB/100 over a 60k hand sample. I had moved down from 2/4 in september. I moved up to 2/4 again this month and over 40k hands my winrate is about .8bb/100. OUCH. bad month. However I think most good players should look to be making 1.5 to 2.5BB/100 over a 100k sample.
I'm sure the percentage of players who make over 2.5BB/100 is very small. I am refering to winrates at PP btw. The ability to 10 table has significantly reduced the ease of games at the lower stakes. In the summer, when I was playing 2/4, my winrate was probably around 3bb/100. However I did not have PT then.

I've got to agree with this. I've been playing in the 2/4 games for about a year now and they aren't as soft as they were. When I first moved up a year ago from 1/2 full I actually found the 2/4 games softer(fewer bonus whores multitabling). I don't think that's the case any longer.

I have played quite a bit at both levels (40K each or so) and switch back and forth regularly. I am of the opinion that 1/2 full is tougher than 2/4 full - the 6max games make all the difference to the players playing 1/2 full (or 9max). I am running a 2BB/100 at 1/2 and 3.5/100 at 2/4 (four tabling both), though both aren't quite the sample size I'd like to hang my hat on.
