How much can you earn per hour in average in a 15-30 dollar game.
Answer 1:
The received wisdom is 1.5 big bets an hour ($45) if you are an EXCEPTIONAL player. A more realistic expectation might be $15-$30 per hour. As always in poker, it depends – factors such as the skill of the opposition, your own skill, and the rake/time charge will all influence hourly expectation.
Answer 2:
The quality of your opposition will greatly affect how much you win. For example, I used to earn just less than 1 BB/hr playing 9-18 holdem. My card room then stopped spreading that game and started spreading an 8-16 instead. This game attracted a lot more of the poorer 4-8 players and as a consequence my hourly rate has shot up to nearly 2.5 BB/hour (I have played more than 300 hours so far at 8-16).
Answer 3:
As the best player $40-50 2nd best $25-30 3rd best $10-15
