Hi All,

I used to play MTT's but found it was difficult to balance work and social life around them so after travelling for a while I have decided to see what I can do at the cash tables.

I have read lot and started off playing a 4 tables of 10NL so I could see what general play was like

Now a week in, I am happily 8 tabling including a couple of Deep games ($25 buyin) I have an Ev adjusted 14.8bb/100 over the 9k hands played last week

I have no interest in moving up to high stakes I just want my hourly to be as high as possible. I work full time so there is no stress winning each month or having to grind in a downswing.

I was hoping someone could tell me/help me with the quality of players at each limit. I know over time I will realise this myself but was looking for an insight so I can see what my expectations should be.

so at 10NL, 16NL, 25NL, 50NL.... what would the average players make per 100 hands. I guess most good players move up from 10NL and thus I think my EV adjusted 14.8bb/100 is sustainable. Is this correct?

average player losses money

hard to draw any WR conclusions from 9K hands

and yes most guys who beat 10NL for good WR move up

In todays online poker environment, a winrate of 3BB/100 is great and 5BB/100 is awesome at ANY stakes. Even very large samples, like 1M hands, cannot provide a reliable prediction of winrate.
