It's not a stat we want to maximize, so it's lol to talk about a ceiling for it. Anyone could probably win 95% of sessions if they wanted to by manipulating play style and having a low stop-win.

Winning >70% seems suspicious IMO and someone with that stat would likely be doing something wrong to attain that, like playing too tight, using stop-wins, etc.

But he stated his winrate was ~9bb/hr at ~70%, and that was very similar to my results as well ~1800 hours in.

And I didn't use any tricks like stop/-wins / hit/running / etc. (as I always play for a predetermined allotted time).

a 1/2 player with a WR of $18/hr and hourly stddev of $135 would "win" 60% of his sessions if he played 4 hour sessions, 65% if 8 hours, 68% if 12 hour sessions.

Since poker is one long session, I win 100% of my sessions. (or 0% if I'm just on a sick heater)

Best (meaning moast simplicated) explanation of variationisms and standard deviants I've seen.

Not too often, rec players have become such pu$$ies, they play TP very similarly to boats it's a very high volatility low reward scenario.

Instead of working to figure out those spots and still only having it work some of the time, you're better off just playing 3 hours more per week.

I was gonna say it's pretty clear that sd will correlate pretty strongly (negatively) to % of sessions won, all else equal. SF said same thing tho.

in before slim "lol." Bedtime is hard.

Then save yourself the extra time and value bet thinner.

Don't understand how you can call these guys puss sissies and yet they call down with top pair. Does. Not. Compute.

Do you think a 2/4 game with max buyin 1k (average stack size 500) and a 5% rake cap 20 is beatable? Player pool not good but also not too spewy (lot of weak tight recs)

Percentage of sessions cashed is such an overrated statistic, don't see how people take so much stock in that pretty useless metric. It's like in baseball a closer posting a 5-0 record with a 5.67 ERA, you suck at pitching with a slim lead but your team bails you out in the later innings.

With a significant sample size and not a weekend warrior, what BB/hr at the low stakes do you consider crushing the game nowadays? Is 12BB/hr an accurate benchmark?

Average BI size and size of player pool are variables needed for that question.

I cant' lie. I am technically 12/13 on sessions cashed. On one night, I left literally even. I bought in for 1200, left with 1200. I had dinner and what not, and tips , so I still won. I changed it to 1201 on my app so it would show as a win, not a loss. :|

I got a problem

Either way.....I wish I could play more. Just with a serious job and all, it's tough. I wish I could be like you guys. My goal is ~100 hours a month.

Assume 100BB buy-in and a large player pool

100 hours a month is a good goal to start, but try doing that for 6 months straight and see if you feel burnt out.

Yeah, I really can't work out how these guys call with TP too much, and yet you cannot value overshove the river anymore.

I think you are doing something wrong?

Yes for a crusher.

So the answer is probably no for even most of players who post in this forum.

Because "good" players aren't suppose to do that.
