Hi,
I have been now playing for about 2 months and I am trying to get a general idea of where I am at,
so I would like to propose a little survey.

If you would only play 10NL cash games
4 tables max with $4 buy in
2 hours max a day

How much money would you be making per day based on your experience?

Why $4?

Would this be 6max or FR? FR you'll get about 500 hands a day. Assuming a 5 bb/100 winrate, about $2.50 a day.

There is no average since the volume is incredibly little. Also, it's generally a bad idea to buyin 40bbs.

What do you mean is a bad idea to buyin 40bbs, what would be the best thing to do?
I play tables of nine not 6max
and more then 4 tables I make too many bad decision still, I do not have practice enough yet.

I started with $50 and I keep going between $40 and $60
I do not have a nice stady winning rate.

You need to move down as soon as possible. Even buying in for $4 you only have 15 buy ins.

Move down; you should play with 100BB. 40bbs is hardly poker; you raise, hit top pair, and go all in.

Thanks guys, great advise, I will move down ASAP.
I just need to play on Fulltilt a bit longer to get full advantage of my bonus, so far they have only release $15 out of $50
Then I will move to Pokerstars.

Get 1 more installment and come to Pstars. We'll keep the light on for you!

If you are only buying in for $4 you might as well play the $2NL games. You'd have 200bbs and you nearly always get paid of when your set/draw hits so you'd probably make more money too.

Forget the bonus. Pull the money out and play at stars at a lower level. If being severely underrolled doesn't bust you on FTP, the 10NL rake will.
