Averge BB/hr rate for a "good" player- $2/4 limit games???

Just wondering what a "good, solid" player would be making on the $2/4 limit tables online?

When I say good I mean has a solid understanding and implimentation of the basics- starting hand slection, pot/implied odds, good post-flop play, etc.

(BTW I'm not at the above stage yet- hence me being interested in a typical BB/hr rate for someone has has the fundamentals down.

Would 2BB/hr be unrealistic? Is it likely to be more or less.

I know "it depends...." but if 0.0002BB/hr is too low and 50,0000BB/hr is too high- what are typical values???

Many thanks,
Ian

If your beating any online limit game for 2.0bb/100 your doing just fine.

Anything above that, and I question why your not moving up.

Unless you're spending every penny of your profit, the answer usually isn't bankroll. However, risk Vs. reward is often a very good answer.

3BB+/100 is totally possible online at lower stakes over huge sample sizes (100K+) - it takes allot of discipline though and I am not convinced you could make over 3BB if you are playing more than a couple tables (maybe this is just me though, I play 5/10 - 10/20 (all 6 max) and have found I can maintain 2.5+ bb/100 if I am playing 1-2 tables, more than that and my win rate suffers - however it could just be me and slow brain not being able to apply reads to multiple tables).....AF

No one who is a great player will ever play enough 2/4 hands to be especially sure of his long term win rate. It also varies alot with the rake, you can probably make 0.5-0.75BB/100 more on Stars than on PokerRoom due to the difference in rake alone.

If you're grinding your way up the limits here is the rule of thumb I use: At the end of the month I withdraw half my winnings and all my rakeback and bonus money. This has so far let me climb the limits about as fast as my poker skill has grown.*

*) A month is 60,000 hands long for me.

Win rates for online poker are usually stated per 100 hands rather than per hour.

2BB/100 is definatly realistic at 2/4 full but I'd bet money that most players who consider themselves 'good' couldn't do it...

Agreed. That's why I'm trying to remove the "subjectivity" from the question. What could someone who "is" good (rather than "thinks" they are) expect to get?

Sounds like 2BB/100 would be typical?

Many thanks,

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

I also think that most people can never get that good nomatter how much they practice and how much they study.

Do you mean in 2/4 or limit in general?

I dont know. I think anybody who applies themselves can grind out 3BB/100. IMO anyway
