BB per Hour

[Muxy]

What would be a good BB per hour to shoot for? Something that is reachable for an average player.

I was just talking with one of my friends and he was playing

.25/.5 Fixed Limit and played 5 hours making 2.5BB and hour. I thought that was low. What would the Ideal BB per hour. For that, and does it go up or vary for different game?

it does go up and down quite a bit depending on who you play against. naturaly, if you play 3/6 the players will be tougher, and your win rate will be lower. 2+2 alleges 5BB/100 is around perfect play. sustaining 3BB for 20,000 hands is great.

don't think about spending the moeny before you've won it. take elipsisjeff's advice and just play 10 to 20 thousand hands at a given limit while you bonus whore. that will give you some idea of how you're doing.

i've been both +20BB in 5 hours and -20BB in 5 hours. i'm not great, but that's a real common occourance.
