What's a good rate of bb/hr I should be aiming for? I've yet to get PT so I'm keeping a track of my wins/losses in a spreadsheet (from here) and just trying to work out what is the rate I should be aiming for at different stakes.

You should be more concerned with BB/100 hands. Then it depends on what game you're playing and how many tables.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

Ok, that makes sense. So at:

2NL
5NL
10NL

What's a good BB/100 hands for 1,2 and perhaps 3 tables? What's the range from "just making it" to "doing good" and "should move up, you're killing it'? If such amounts exist.

At these levels it's not about how much you are killing a game as much as it is about the size of your bankroll.

Move up as soon as your roll allows and move back down if you drop below 20 buyins for the higher level.

2, 5, and 10 shouldnt see great differences, imo.

barely making it should be any positive number.

doing good would be between 5ptbb/100 and 10ptbb/100.

killing it would be 10+ptbb/100. edit: although, it is rumored really good players can sustain 20+, but i argue short-term variance wont allow it.

but, you should sustain these for more than 25k hands to consider them at all accurate...and even that number is subject to debate.

that doesnt, however, mean to play 25k hands before moving up. if your goal is to move up, get going as soon as your bankroll allows...provided you are posting "good" winrate numbers.

these numbers change/drop, imo, once you go to 25NL and beyond.
LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!

Chopper pretty much hit it right on the spot but I am not sure if you know the difference between ptBB/100 vs BB/100 hands since they are two diff things. Simple rule of thumb is just to multiply by 2, so say your playing at 7ptBB/100 at 10NL, then your making 14BB ($1.40) every hundred hands.
