50-200bb/hr, depending on how laggy their style is.

I think a normal St. Dev. is about 100bb/hr.

I feel like 50bb/hr std is unheard of

Yeah, I mean, I get this sample isn't huge, but a std of 10x the mean seems strange.

Nah not really. Throw in a few decent losing sessions and it's standard.

Wow ok, so 50-200 bb for 500-750 hours. What about when your winrate stabilizes/converges? Maybe after 5k hours?

By 5000 hours you've probably quit poker.

50-200 bb per hour. The standard deviation on a 500 hour sample is sqrt(500) * stdev per hour.

To say when it converges just depends on what you considered "coverged". i.e. 95% confidence in +/- 1 bb / hr, etc.

Long story short... Your live WR will never converge. You and the game will change before you reach any appreciable convergence.

Thanks, bip. Yes, I know it never will actually converge, but I do know a good/bad week or month won't have a massive effect after playing a few thousand hours, but could affect things considerably in a smaller sample.

And thanks for pointing out that the std is per hour. I was thinking in those terms but realize it wouldn't be obvious to a reader.

I had a picture ITT a few months back that showed the WR confidence vs hours curve

Pretty sure when you're going through 10+ BI downswing, no amount of data would make you feel better.

Try drug or alcohol.

Ha, no big downswing, just curious. Got drug and alcohol on hand for the downswings though so no worries.

Lol. 100% agreement although I think both are probably needed

Where did you play?
Were you runnin' hot?
I played last night & won $535 in less than 3 hours. I call that 'High Variance' if there is such a thing.
Targets left & so did I.

Playing 2/3 for a living is my extreme back up plan for if my life really goes to **** and I have no other options to feed my family. Think 30 an hour is definitely possible but cannot imagine not hating going to work every day after 6 months

Bout $100/hour so at least 1/3 of profits.

Played east coast. Ran average to mediocre. Played my typical game - tight preflop hand selection and value betting into oblivion.

Yah it's making me feel a my better about quitting my job next year to travel, knowing when I get back I have a "job" lined up until I figure out what to do next in life. I've ran $30 an hour over a 500 hour sample size at 1/2 but think I could do $40 if I really put my mind to it. Mixing in 1/3 is just gravy - that game is equally if not more so ridiculous. Kinda makes me think most 2/5 players are only playing due to ego problems.

Is this too tight for o/r? 10 handed:
UTG: 77+ ATs+ AJo+ T9s+ 9.35% range

UTG+1 & 2: add 66, 87s, KQo. 10.7% range

UTG+3: add 55 KJs 11.5% range

UTG+4: add 33/44 65s/76s; J9s+; KTs+ 13.9% range

UTG+5: [Hijack] add 22; 54s; 75s; A5s/A7s+ 17.9% range

CO: add A2s+; ATo; K6s+; KJo; Q7s+; QJo; J8s+; 64s; 23.7% range

Button: add: K2s+; Q2s+; J5s+; T6s+ 74s+ 53s+; 43s+ A2o+; K7o+, Q9o+; J9o+; T8o+; 98o; 87o; 47.5% range.

These ranges come from different sources. However, it's rare that's it's folded to me in the CO or later. The bulk of good play pre is knowing your V's range in front of you, wouldn't you say?

IMO I prefer the 15/25/35 guideline with marginal hands. Stakes dependent of course, but I've found this to be a very profitable preflop range

are you talkin' about an expectation of makin' 15x your preflop investment for PPs; 25x for suited connectors & 35x for 1gap SCs?

I'm talking about an o/r range where everyone has folded to you preflop.

Either you are missing a position or this is 9handed. I think its good to have a set range of opening hands and yours seem pretty solid. However it is important to be able to adapt to certain table dynamics and tweek these ranges ingame.

Use this http://pokerdope.com/poker-variance-calculator/

Just instead of using stats per 100 hands, use hours. It's the same math.
