How much should I be making?

Ive been playing the 25NL for a while now.

Buying in for $20 on 3 tables all full ring.

I have not lost overall for a long time. Even on a slow session I can usually make about $10 an hour over the 3 tables.

So this is about $3.30 an hour.

I hear people say you should make 2 Big Bets an hour but what the hell is a big bet?

Also how do you think I would fair in the $50?

10$hr= 40bb/hr

1hr= 50 hands?(x3tables)

40bb/150 hands= your nuts, keep dreaming

Just multitabled 4 tables for an hour for $15

Seriously this is the norm right now. 5 winning sessions in a row.

Well he is earning $3.30 per table/per hour and the BB is 25c.

That equates to 13bb/hour.

I guess you get maybe 70 hands per hour and so would think it is around 20bb/100.

He says this is the norm "right now" so I guess he's just running good!

Yeah well maybe, I appreciate that it could dry up.

However:

I just played for another 45 mins 4 tables for $13

And I have had 2 losing tables out of 16 over my last 4 sessions and they have only been down by 5 and 7 dollars.

Over my last 6 winning sessions in a row the lowest has been (all about an hour) my lowest profit was 8 and my highest 25.

it will prolly even out the more you play but 3/hr is very doable at the low nl tables just because of the type of players there

Yeah. Just had another 4 table 45 mins. $10

and 45 mins 2 table:

1 50 NL - up 5
1 25 NL - up 15

The players just suck and ive been all in 3 times in 8 sessions which has kept me clear of a horrific beat

Oh and if you really dispute my ability, just finished 83rd in a 350 man $5 +.50 turbo. :rockpoker

Still its 7 winning sessions in a row and counting

Hope it keeps up for you, just keep in mind there's a "River Rats" section on here for a reason. When times are good they're great, when they're bad they absolutely suck.

You're sitting a NL25 table and don't know what a big bet is?

Yes. I would imagine the same as Big Blind, but why say big bet?
