I'm not willing to do all counting in here (everybody can do their own), but at the NL 50, if You will play 1500 hands with WR 4/100 = $2 per 100 hands. You will earn 30.00 $per hour like lexy655https://www.blogger.com/profile/16935532535277445064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503203097950401361.post-1842431976358844232019-02-08T12:25:31.248+07:002019-02-08T12:25:31.248+07:00Glad you enjoyed Dfox!

Furthermore we can compare with other grinders and measure our success.<br /><br />I am not a hugh grinder and only played 18k hands with an hourly of .60 this month but perhaps I could play more and work harder.<br /><br />All the best, thanks!MikeBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02198646311396668782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503203097950401361.post-79409676479422852962018-06-06T09:35:29.829+07:002018-06-06T09:35:29.829+07:00Hey Mike,

I think it is completely silly. <br /><br />But people will keep asking me "How much will I make per hour at NL25" until the end of time so I will keep writing these silly articles with my wild speculations that people can debate about :)<br /><br />BlackRain79https://www.blogger.com/profile/13583442498190608166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503203097950401361.post-26012190002735602732018-06-06T09:13:34.834+07:002018-06-06T09:13:34.834+07:00Thanks Samantha :)Thanks Samantha :)BlackRain79https://www.blogger.com/profile/13583442498190608166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503203097950401361.post-71392734039008999822018-06-06T09:13:16.342+07:002018-06-06T09:13:16.342+07:00Thanks Ray, glad you enjoyed!Thanks Ray, glad you enjoyed!BlackRain79https://www.blogger.com/profile/13583442498190608166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503203097950401361.post-31351507153073573562018-06-06T02:11:42.294+07:002018-06-06T02:11:42.294+07:00Possibly 2 BB per hour, but not much more.

Someone winning 10 BB per hour on a regular basis at 2/5NL Live, is unheard of. Remember, in a live game you are only being dealt on average, 25 hands per hour.<br /><br />Thanks!Pokermike36https://www.blogger.com/profile/03103250151486445658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503203097950401361.post-23968530859535877572018-06-05T23:25:22.314+07:002018-06-05T23:25:22.314+07:00Doubt you can find anyone with 100k sample of live...Doubt you can find anyone with 100k sample of live 1/2.
