I don't understand the 2nd part of your sentence. Why would you *not* log losing sessions? Everyone would be a winner if not logging losing session but it's important to do.

I went to play in Europe a few weeks back and tables were super soft and I logged my 3 biggest losing sessions on 3 consecutive days and they are getting absolutely logged.
Sorry, you Misunderstand. I mean I recorded or had my biggest single session loss this past Sunday which killed my win rate. So the numbers you see we're actually better until that day. But, yes every losing and winning session is recorded.

Meh, as long as we're just playing these hands in position / mostly in limped pots (or otherwise in smallish raised pots with good stacks and very multiway), I'd try to play as many speculative hands as I think I could get away with.

Agreed, but I was tired and not concentrating well. I played some crappy hands out of position and to raises. If I was concentrating more I would have done better. Also, even my big hands I missed value. What can I say. Can't always play perfect. But, I do have a solid 73% session win rate over the last 3 months. So I'm looking to keep that trend.

Had a pretty up and down month, salvaged it the last couple days. Ran pretty horribly in some huge pots again this month, for sure ran way under all-in EV but don't know how I'd ever calculate that for live games. One or two of those $900+ pots going my way would have a big effect on WR and total winnings for the month. Had 5 or 6 days where I just got obliterated at 1/2 dropping 2-3 buy-ins. April results:

Total profit: $2,625
Total sessions: 27
Average win per session: $97.22
Total profit year-to-date: $20,724
Total sessions YTD: 110
Average win per session YTD: $188.40

How does that translate into $/hr?

Either way, pretty sick year.

My sessions were shorter this month than past few months and all of the ones highlighted in red are 2/5, the rest are 1/2. Average session this month was probably around 5 hours so $20/hr-ish overall, not sure exactly since I don't keep track of hours played. Average hourly for the year would be somewhere around $32-35/hr I would guess. As you can see some of the days I played both 2/5 and 1/2 which were like 2-3 hours in each game. Not too happy with the April results but I won money so I can't complain. Hopefully I'll run good this month and put up a good $6k+ month. My goal for the year as stated earlier in this thread is $5500/mo or $66k for the year, which would probably average to around $35-40/hr or somewhere around that.

Ah, ok. Those sound like high but sustainable rates (not $100/hr heaters).

Wish I could get in that kind of volume, it's tough getting more than 35 hours in a month.

wj94, your day in / day out putting in the hours grinding schedule is impressive. And you do this on top of a normal job too, right? Ever get burnt out?

My normal job is working from home, so it's not really tough work considering I sort of do what I feel like doing and half my day is spent watching tv and surfing the internets. If I had to go to an office for a typical 9-5 or do physical labor all day I wouldn't play poker nearly as much. Poker is fun and winning never gets old, so haven't had the burnout feeling yet. I'm trying to buy a house at some point in the near future so I have some motivation with poker money going towards the down payment fund and retirement savings.

Good for you! And I like the way you're focused on your total income instead of getting wrapped up in an hourly rate. An hour rate can be a good gage sometimes, but it really doesn't mean much in regards to "making a living", making enough money to be comparable to a *real* job that pays a salary.
Some player that claim they make a large hourly, but only play a low volume of hours really haven't done much, LOL. They certainly haven't made enough to buy a house, congrats!

This is just part of the problem outside the "handing over money" thing.

I have a close friend, his wife railed him at 2/4HU online a few years back, he was making good money on the side, only played when all the other duties were chalked off. His wife was at one time working at casino as well so no stranger to poker. 2y down the line, he found himself in court being portrayed as a degenerate gambler who would neglect his kids and gambling away food money, risking losing custody of kids.

bottom line is: if you live with someone who doesn't understand it, you really only have 3 options: not involve them in what you do, quit poker forever and never look back or gtfo. GL

Last 100 hours (March/April, a bit of May) have been good. Currently on an 11 game winning streak and prop betting GG for avatars.





Average session 7 hours. Average profit per session $206. ($30/hour or 15bb/hr)

One 2/5 shot take which is skewing the sample, without it it would be 12bb/hr.

Notice sessions 4 & 11. Variance my friends.

My Std Dev over 700 hours is 150bb/hr

After recording 30k hands online, my Std Dev is 90bb/100

Is that normal? What sort of numbers are you guys looking at?

I have an app that records all my sessions and gives me a Std Dev / hr stat.

I'll try and manually calculate it to see what I get.

05-06-2013 , 01:05 PM
yeah like your posts are pretty nitty (which isn't bad) so I'd expect your std dev to be around mine which is like 80 to 90 bb/hr

It will take me awhile to input all the data into an Excel sheet and manually calculate, but yeah, after looking at other Std Dev data from other threads, I suspect that this app isn't accurate. I have only recorded 1/2 data so the limits aren't the problem, either.

Or I'm the LAGgiest player ever? /sarcasm
