Without pointing the finger at anyone, I bet at least half of these are overstated by 100% or more, and a few are just outright lies.

You are meaner than me. But yes, that's what I was thinking.

I make about $3 an hour playing razz.

I just noticed the thread said "goal."

If I could get rolled for a higher level razz, like 10/20, and maintain a 1.5 BB/hour winrate, that'd be sweeeeeet. That'd be $30.

lol well if you take into account what I last mentioned, that if you just make an estimate you probably estimate what you usually win in a winning session over how long it was, plus the fact that people will disregard downswings but since obviously them running good was pure skill forget that. Now I'm just as guilty of that, this is how the human mind works. I still remember when I was making $60/hour for my first 5 hours. Since then I would have been happy with a $0/hour winrate (well not really, but if I could go back in time while still remembering this horrid downswing ). Now my winrate since then is under $10/hour. Here's your process for determining your winrate.

1. Make sure you have pokertracker
2. Log 20k-50k+ hands starting now (because otherwise you may have bias. If you're on a hot streak you'll pick a week ago but if you're on a downswing you'll start now)
3. Take a look at something that's pretty close to your true winrate on PT

$15/hr at 25nl, $39/hr at 50nl and $14/hr at 100nl (downswing + changed game for the worse) and looking to improve.

I ran really well at 50nl but I think $40 is easily attainable and with the added tables I'll have with the new monitor I'm shooting for $50/hr. **** a day job

One day, one day.

Yessir, those #s are from 8-tabling, though I'm now 12 tabling successfully on my current monitor with tons of overlap. I think I can make it to 16 or more with the new 24" added to the setup.

heh, all you have to do is quit your job and play 25 hours a day like I do! Poker is EZ when you don't have any other responsibilities

Ah the mind of a poker player. We tend to remember how mush we win ($$ wise), and how bad we lose (card wise). I meet the two in the middle somewhere. I used to always pay for "lessons" [aka: I sucked]. Right now I'm doing better at holding steady. Hopefully soon I will look at a win rate. And finally would be an hourly rate. One step at a time.

Goal?

Put me down for four grand please

Your the king

I am thinking about playing full time to. But dont now yet if I can stay focused 8 hours a day , and I have to low bankroll at the moment..........

But the plan/goal is to play fulltime within august.

$1/hour.

No seriously. I just recently became a break even player....so the next step is up. I am currently hovering around 50 dollar bankroll +/- $10 variance. Would be nice to bust through that and get up to a BR allowing me to play higher SNG's.

June 22nd's my goal.

I make probably between 5-10 playing cash games, then go waste 4 hours busting out just ITM in a tourney.
So...
cash = lets say + $7.50/hr
tournament = - $20/hr

=\

edit: my goal is to make say $20 this year an hour. Ultimately my goals are to make oh $75 an hour. (and to just break even in tournament play lol)
