I am in my early-mid 20’s so don’t have a lot a ton of hours yet.
I have about 200 hours live in Las Vegas and the rest is at my hometown casino which has 5 dollar max rake and 2 for promotions.
I play for mainly a part time income type thing in addition to my day job. I definitely take the game serious and want to improve. I usually play 2-3x/week (Friday-Sunday)
Over my last 800 hours roughly (I have about 965 hours live but my last 800 I started buying in for the max-300) I am winning 19.92/hr at 1/3 and lifetime at 1/3 16.35over 882 hours(I consider myself a generous tiper and will frequently tip 2-3 dollars for pots I shouldn’t)
What is usually the missing link or missing like step to bring the winrate to about 30/hr
I know this question might not be able to be answered (not knowing how I play and stuff) I consider myself a decent TAG. I generally try and play a lot in position. ISO weak players C bet on good flops.
I am working on squeezing more IP with dead money out there.
Even if I do play great/ run good I understand my game might not be beatable for $30/hr (due to tipping, short stacks, slow play, etc)
I remember those thousands of hours ago when I reached my 1000 hours of 1/3 NL at 9.6 bb/hr, and then my 2000 hours at 9.4 bb/hr. At that time, if someone with a 5.5 - 6.6 bb/hr winrate (like yours) woulda asked the same question, I wouldn't have naively answered something like "you're almost there, you probably just gotta plug up some leaks and tweak a few things".
But I would be embarrassed by those sorts of responses now, as I've learned that ~1000 hour sample sizes ain't ****. Like seriously, they are so lol and meaningless. You begin to realize that when you post a 1300 hour sample size of 4 bb/hr (same dude, playing the same way, in the same game, at << 1/2 winrate, wtf?). See my giraffes from a couple of months ago for lol's.
I think it was Richard Parker (or a previous incarnation of him) that sorta alluded to that to me early on (but I likely didn't listen). Really wish he was still around to follow up with him on that and give him props. If you search way back on this thread you might even find it, I'm too lazy too.
Not exactly sure what I'm trying to say, but in a rambling way I think I'm saying that there is a lot finer line than you likely realize at this point between vastly different winrates (and a lot of it will simply be variance over lol lifetime sample size). As tough as this is to say (especially from me who has a zillion different filters on my PokerJournal filtering my winrates eleventeen different ways): try not to sweat the winrate so much, as it probably doesn't mean nearly as much as you think it does.
IMO.
