Making $100/hr Playing On-line Low Stakes Poker

Ok i wrote that about 10mins after i woke so i will just double check my figures but trust me i have huge samples to go on.

Rake per 1k hands = £38
60%rb = £22.80 per 1k hands
100 hands =£2.28

I play 750 hands in a hour 9 tables
83 hands per table x 16 = 1300 approx

Winrate = 3bb/100 this is obviously fictional and we have to just assume that he can win at this rate.
£1.50 per 100

Ok so now we have £2.28 + £1.50 = £3.78 per 100 hands

£3.78 x13 = £49.14

Approx $79 an hour

My first calculation is a bit off sorry about that i just confused something somewhere.

Its still a pretty sweet hourly rate at 50nl though you will admit.

But sure you can only obtain a "lol sample size" for a "lol edge" doing that?

50pound nl is not 50nl, its close to what 80$nl? rake at 50nl is a lot lower

[tipp86]

No it is 50nl simple saying its $80nl is fine but its not its 50nl and it attracts the same level of players.

I understand that dollar tables are most common but its irrelevant. If i beat £50nl for $80 a hour im still beating 50nl for that rate.

Anyway its not worth arguing over really neither of us are the ones claiming to do it.

tipp86 are you saying this winrate is something you could theoretically achieve, or have you already done it over a significant sample?

If it is the latter, care to share any PokerTracker/HEM stats/graphs to back it up?

Because I would have thought that despite what your calculations seem to show, a $50/hr winrate at 50NL over a significant sample size is a little unusual. Perhaps I'm wrong.

Jesus NO i thought i stated that enough times for people to understand.

But if you want my thoughts on how achievable what i wrote was i think i could give a could accurate explanation.

My win rate last year was about 2bb/100 but it took a massive down swing in Jan so im at about 1bb/100 winrate now. Ok my 2bb/100 was over a 300k sample so its not a bad sample il work with that for the moment as there is a decent few guys on ipoker who are 50nl regs wiith that winrate.

I personally 9 tabled so that worked out at about £23 an hour 9 tabling with a 2bb/100 winrate. Thats $37 an hour and trust me im not very good i wont claim to be.

I could not 16 table but there is guys who can and im pretty sure some can do it at least break even. That is £30 per hour which is nearly $50. Im sure there is some guys who are very good and can win playing tha many tables so it may be realistic but anyone who can will just move up levels and move down tables or whatever.

If you find any flaws in my theory il try answer them. Im not saying i could achieve anything but i think it can be achieved and would have good facts to prove it.

[thatspoker7]

The article is ridiculous obviously but from reading this thread I am pretty surprised at how much one can make only playing 50NL, it's a good amount for sure.

[rackem]

i thought this was implausible too but then i read this book called 'the secret' and everything became so clear to me.

[StonedShisha]

nice thread. I love constructed critisicm

Thanks for responding.

Yeah I did notice just after I posted that you said you're not claiming to have achieved 50$/hr at 50NL, but thought I'd leave my post unedited anyway to get some more clarification.

You seem to have clarified your points pretty well, so good job on that winrate I guess.

Makes me think I really need to get used to playing more tables because my 50NL WR was pitiful in comparison despite having an OK ptbb/100.

He wouldn't even consider a bet unless a few different variables were all over 5 standard deviations from normal over at least several thousand spins.

[you must e]

I'd be shocked if many achieve more than $50/hr over a 100k sample at these stakes

Wrong, playing on a wheel that is out of sorts is illegal. Card counting is not. Yes it is the casinos responsibility to make sure their wheels are balanced, but taking advantage of an unbalance wheel is a pretty blatant form of cheating.

Not according to the laws in the states and countries we were in. You may find it repulsive but what we cared about was our ability to legally defend ourselves if the casinos decided try to take that angle. I said it was no more legally dubious than card counting, not ethically dubious. (Although to be honest, I don't consider it cheating.)
