Now are you going to answer the OG question or not?
your question has already been answered. it largely depends on the table dynamics and stack sizes.
and yes it is terrible for the game. beyond terrible. it's amazing how so many poker players who are trying to win have zero common sense.
you're asking about hourly win rates- if you want a good win rate play in good games but also help cultivate good games. don't sit there like some poker nerd dildo talking poker strat hand ranges etc. at the table.
if you're both capable players then talk to each other about hands away from the table. you two geniuses think you're so smart talking strategy at the table but you aren't. help make the games better and more fun and your hourly will go up.
Another mistake a lot of poker players make since they have massive egos besides tapping the glass is thinking they can make 100 dollars an hour at a certain game (hypothetical number) so if they put in x hours at the game they make 100x dollars. this is totally wrong. poker isn't blackjack where you can plug in your ex per hand and multiply it by x hands per hour to get an expected ev.
So they end up sitting in ****ty games all day thinking they're earning 100 dollars per hour when they aren't. Or they drag down the fun of the games with hand range talk, berating players, tanking all the time or sitting there watching the last 81 episodes of house of cards on their tablets.Whatever your hourly is or whatever hourly the best 5/5 plo player in the country has doesn't mean they can average that in any random 5/5 plo game. don't make that mistake.
