Even if I'm good at cash though, I'll have to play less tables, so I'll just have to experiment and see where the best $/hr is to be made. Either way, it'll be good for me, my leaks in tournaments are mostly in the deepstack portion of them.
Just checking lobbies, it looks like ~95 hands per hour is about average for 6max, is that what you would assume? Sorry for the newb question, the disparity between some tables is huge.
Yeah, I understand. If you're not running well, stick with what you're really good at, and also make sure you're giving yourself enough time away from the game too.
When you start to make that transition into cash games, Leak Buster is a great tool for someone like you who will want the instant feedback to make sure you're playing optimally. It has a lot of good tutorial videos, and modules that will help make that transition smoother.
Hands per hour really depends on the site, with turbo, non-turbo. I think average is somewhere around 45 - 90 hands and hour. Some sites with turbo tables can get slightly higher.
Good luck, and if you have any other questions, just let me know.
