How much can you make hourly?

pokeyou · Aug 20, 2017

Say it is an average player playing $1 / $2 online

freestocks · Aug 20, 2017

Plus or minus fifty bucks.

kakdelamax · Aug 20, 2017

Usually I play until I get tired. I never play all the money. I try to stick to the strategy so that there will always be money for further games. Basically the gaming session lasts 5-6 hours

johnathan · Aug 21, 2017

depends on how many 1/2 you're playing at the time though

pokeyou · Aug 22, 2017

someone on the chat when i was playing told me that he plays 5 tables at a time and makes 32$ in 5-6 hours. This is 2c/4c table.

If you're playing 200nl online, you probably don't need to worry about your hourly. That thinking is more along the lines of a micro player and it depends on how many tables and your ability to select profitable seats and tables. At 200nl, you're gonna be looking to make 5 big blinds or so per 100 hands as a solid player. Presumably you can easily get in 250 hands per hour if you're at that level, so you'd be looking at $25/hour, but again, that's not really going to be your focus because you'll be better off breaking it down to bb's/100 over a bigger sample due to what the variance is going to do to your hourly rate from day-to-day, week-to-week.

I think focusing on hourly income is a distraction and least of your worries

fletchdad · Aug 23, 2017

you can make or lose a wide margin in any hour. BUT........

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
this.

It all comes down to 2 things IMO. Your skill level, and variance.

One of those you can have an influence on. (Both actually, but that is a much deeper discussion, one example: you can keep your variance from spiraling through tilt if you know when to stop ....)

though there are days when that does not win.well, as I understand that no more than 20$ it depends on who gets.you can lose a lot more in a short time)))

Count hourly earnings incorrectly, you need to watch winrate at a distance

Hourly income per level for best players in the world here:
http://www.blackrain79.com/2014/10/how-much-do-poker-players-make.html

imo: For good player (per level) half the income, for reasonable player the income is about 1/3rd of calculated.

So if one day I’m good at NL10 I should be making about 5 dollars per hour, if at NL25 10 dollars per hour. After that I think it gets quite hard to get to good category and reasonable category is what is most likely if ever, making income at NL100 for most around 13 dollars.

If we assume live NL200 is similar to NL5 online we are expecting 17bb winrate, 20 hands per hour (breaks and all), 6.8 dollars per hour if you are very good. If we assume live is more like 2NL double that hourly.

EDIT: I just notised a flaw in my thinking that alters results somewhat. These win rates by blackrain are calculated while multi tabling, in live you are single tabling and have time and data to really know your enemy.

duckyfAL · Aug 24, 2017

i cant understand how people say, YOU HAVE TO WIN 10DLRS FOR 1 HOUR.

Guys is poker, why you have to be so strict about it.

Just play and make a good long run.

Because that advices for new players are bad,
They will feel pressured because they can not win 5 / 10 / 50 / 100 dolars in an hour.

GWU73 · Aug 26, 2017

Average players lose money. Most players lose money. Only a very small percentage of players can beat thee game and the rake. That said, a good player is going to make around 4-8 BB/100 hands online. 10-15 bb/hour live

lezhnindima · Aug 26, 2017

I think it all depends on the value of bets, luck and skill! I raised a maximum of $ 3 per hour ))

Aglarion · Aug 26, 2017

I feel stupid, I've been playing cash games for the last 2 weeks at the lower limits on pokerstars and I hadn't even noticed there was any rake.

thewhalehunter · Aug 26, 2017

Yeah, if you are playing cash tables daily then looking at it hourly is a hinderance ... better to set weekly or biweekly goals.

sryulaw · Aug 26, 2017

Little tricky reply, you can take a bad one without end of 1 hour and zero ..

gombos · Aug 29, 2017

When I won $ 200 in one hour, I was 10 minutes busted many [emoji17]

starting_at_the_bottom · Aug 31, 2017

Generally your average player loses money rather than makes money.

So your average player will not make anything.

Pretty pointless question anyway.

TheBull953 · Sep 18, 2017

The blackrain79 source braveslice posted is really good. I would add that online win rates will generally be much lower than live win rates. The micros (i.e. $0.01/0.02) are the lowest stakes online and are a training ground. Many of those who make it to $1/2 are pretty solid by the time they get there and not as many people just jump in. However, at the casino the minimum is usually $1/2 and the newest of the newbies still start there.

Syltan · Sep 18, 2017

I'm still far from such limits ((At its limit, 2-3 bytes in plus or minus))

ankitantil · Sep 18, 2017

It depends cant say.

crw750shrf · Sep 18, 2017

usually t's about 20$/hour

sinergia · Sep 21, 2017

+- 5-10$

ROYALROAD · Nov 20, 2019
