How many hands do you think it takes until you can say you are able to "beat" a certain limit? 10k? 25k? 50k? I am just trying to figure out how long it would take to judge my progress at 10nl. Ive only played 1k hands here, but Ive killed at 23BB/100. I know that 1k is by no means a good marker, so I was wondering what ya'll thought.
Also, 3-4BB/100 is considered a pretty good winrate, correct?
...anyone? :D
25k hands +, but move up or down based on your bankroll. Once you are rolled for $25nl, move up.
3-4BB/100 is a good win-rate.
1k hands is an hour or less of play for a lot of players here...
1K is not even close.
I was running at 35ptBB/100 after my first 1K hands at 10NL. Now after about 5K hands I'm in the red. I don't think I'm a losing player at this level, but I'm certainly not a 35ptBB/100 winning player either. I won't really know where I'm at for another 15K-20K hands.
Yeah, I know that 1k hands is nowhere near a good marker for how well you can beat a certain limit. I was just thrilled to be doing that well. Ive read some other people have done better than that at higher limits for a short period of time as well. I was just curious as to a good estimate of how many hands are needed. I would guess probably 25k as a conservative estimate.
My suggestion is 35k hands at +3ptbb/100 when at 2nl-10nl and 50k hands at +2ptbb/100 when at 25nl+ at the very least. Conveniently, this also sets you up for a decent number of buy-ins at the level you're going up to as well.
