Approximatly 2 weeks ago I began an experiment at some of the lower level tables. Namely the .05/.10 at Pstars. I have played approximatly 30 hours and have been able to turn a $2.45 per hour per table profit. This is approximatly 24 times the BB per hour. My question is how is this happening? 24X is much larger than the 1 BB an hour rule most pro's live by.

I believe the answer lies in the fact that the .5/.10 tables are just loaded with fish who consistantly bet hard with two pair. I always see $2 pots taken down by high card Ace and equally crappy hands. A set of anything regularly cleans house. Calling stations galore.

OK so I answered my own question. Please feel free to discuss.

1bb/100 is for limit.

5-10 big bets/100 or 10-20 big blinds/100 is sustainable for most at NL.

20 odd big blinds/100 at the micros isn't that special. It's definitely solid but it's not OMG.

I don't have poker tracker but I figure I average about $3/table/hour which works out to 24 big blinds/100 at NL25 (assuming 50 hands/table/hour).

Now if you could sustain that at 1000NL I would be impressed.
Light years ahead of the competition.

Hey, me too.

I've actually been running at ~~15BB/100 over my last 17k hands.

Although I must admit that I am unable to get anywhere near that winrate on the shark infested Party network!

I am really sad as I have averaged 46BB/100 over my last thousand or so £0.15/£0.25 hands at William Hill and I know it's got to end soon

(my overall BB/100 at this level is only about 11, fwiw, which I'm happy enough with at this early stage in my poker career)

1000 hands is nothing, I wouldnt even worry about it at this point.

That isnt enough to even start seeing trends

Q. Is poker Gambling?
A. Do you use correct bankroll management?

ChezJ is an unknown quantity at this point
the 1 bb/hr cited for limit hold 'em applies mainly to medium/high limit tables. i usually average 5+ bb/hr at very low limit tables, both online and offline. of course table selection is key.
