    Default Hypothetical

    Two limits of LHE. Both beatable. But one limit's bb is 5x the other. Your bank is only big enough to 2 table the higher limit (@ 100h/hour) or 4 table the smaller limit (@200 h/hour). Your win rate is 15 bb/100 over 2500 hands at the lower limit, but 5 bb/100 over 3500 hands at the higher limit. Downside is there is a 5% rake on the higher limit, but NO rake at the lower limit.

    These two limits are your only choice. Which do you play?

    Not enough hands to tell at 2500 and 3500, but I think it's easily the lower limit. I don't think its really close?

    I think you can tell how you've been running over that many hands and get a feel for what is a typical win rate. Of course it won be the same at 10k or 100k hands, but it never can be right? Since Win rate is just a running average anywyas.

    Whoops, degressing back to the what is long term thread there.

    you really think you can maintain 15BB/100? If so, you should put all your money in that site and get a set-up so you can 8-table it and quit work.

    Actually you saw me doing it last night beav. I have been running as high as 32bb/100 and as low as 8bb/100 over the course of the 2500 hands, but it has leveled out around 15bb/100.

    And I'm not quitting my job for $3/hr.

    You could just sign up somewhere that you get a rake back and play the higher limits.

    Well, some players never heard of rake back, so it was just a suggestion.

    But, probably play with no rake than with.

    Happy now?
