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

[s20Merlin]

Let me say this, the casino I work in make about a total of just short of 100 million dollars a year in pure profit, after all taxes and expenses. Alot comes from slot machines, but about 30-40M (depends on the year) come from gaming tables. If you can take a roulette wheel and track some spins, without using a computer as your playing and you try to find an edge, I dont see a problem.

Same deal with card counting. Now, im not saying they wouldnt kick you out if they found out... but I think if you can make 50k a year doing it, your not making anyone go bankrupt.

i think a more realistic goal that is achievable at 50nl is 75$/hour. i'm sure there are some 50nl grinders who make roughly that amount. it should be considered the top tier hourly of 50nl grinders.

Please name 1?

$156K a year (based on a 40 hrs a week of play) ... really?

I'm sure this is possible at NL100 but doubt it is at NL50.

Def possible at $100NL, with SNE plus table profits.. This has been done many times, never heard of $50NL doing this, probably because they would move up with their roll?

its possible, but no 1 good enough to make that hourly there will play more than 10hours a week.

Most of us who have good winrates at any given limit are quite lazy and mostly achieve good winrates by not grinding too much(which would result in hating poker and spewing)

I think you only got yourself to blame, you should go play roulete, cause poker is a skill game................

sorry, couldn't resist .

if you average 6 tables of rush poker for about 1200 hands per hour (average hands per hour at rush estimated at about 200). if you play 8 hours per day, that's 9600 hands. if your winrate is modest, ie. 2bb/100. at nl50, that'd be $96/hr.

if you work as hard as certain airplane pilots, business people, top athletes and others who are known to work very hard and do long hours, you can make $100 per hour at low/small stakes poker. the math is real simple.

OK Mr. Wizard -- please anyone post if they are making $96 an hour playing 50NL...

just because no one puts in the effort doesn't mean it can't be done.

Maybe I suck at math, but wouldn't this be only $96 for the whole day?

1200 hands an hour at 2bb/100 = 24bb an hour = $12 an hour?

Lets assume im pretty good and beat it for 3bb/100 ( i consider that very good 16 tabling )

Im getting £48 per hour rb.

£18 winrate.

£64 hourly rate which transfers to $102.

Even cut the winrate in half which is more realistic and we get pretty close. Im sorry to say but the guy is not far off with what he says.

ya - except for the fact that less than 1% of the population earns 3bb/100 16 tabling
