Default 3 BB/100 at 3/6 Possible?

Hey all -

I made a pretty major adjustment to my game on March 20th, and since then I've managed to log 17k+ hands with a BB/100 of 2.94. Do you think this is sustainable at 3/6? I haven't heard of many players posting BB/100 over 3 at 3/6, and I'm really just wondering if I can continue to expect the same winrate I've shown over the past few weeks.

3 BB/100 is DEFINITELY sustainable at 3/6. And I hate to use the cliche, but, it's not close.

Fantastic - thanks Evan. On a side note, I posted my first +1k day yesterday, which was way cooler than having a 3 BB/100 over a 17k hand period. I hope I can look forward to many more lucrative nights.

Careful, I was at virtually the EXACT win rate through my first 17K at 3/6. I now have 33K in and my rate is 0.9. Beware the whore called variance.

17k hands, 2.94BB/100 observed win rate, assumed standard deviation if 16: There is a 95% probability that your true win rate lies between 0.53BB/100 and 5.35BB/100. So about all you can say at this point is that you are almost certainly a winning player, which ain't bad.

I had been playing far too tight and passive pre-flop. I realized that, taking position into account, making isolation raises and playing more hands with big-pot potential is ultimately hugely +EV. It was something I had always realized, but really only just applied to my game in the past couple of weeks.

And when did you last play 3/6 on a consistent basis?

FWIW, I think 3BB/100 is achievable, but I doubt it's realistic to go too far beyond that figure.

November. I never said it was the norm, or even that Alex is a 3 BB/100 winner. It surely is possible though.

It's cool. I thought you might be one of those 15/30 guys that played 3/6 way back in the day when there were 5-6 players to see every flop.
