So what would you consider a "realistic win rate" at 1-3 Live NL 100-300 Buy Ins

#1 January 4th, 2018, 7:33 AM

I'm wondering what everyone else thinks a realistic hourly rate or win rate BB/Hour for 1-3 No Limit Live cash games. I am sure this question has been asked before but i really want the cold hard facts from "experienced players". Who have actually played 1/3 and tracked there sessions.

I don't need "opinions" i need facts.

Depends on where you play, casino that runs 4+ tables Thu thru Sun with a decent turnover rate in the player pool, $27/hour; local card room that runs 1-2 tables with mostly regs, $18/hour.

I think Jilly is pretty much dead on for my 1/3 sessions, which is limited to Aria exclusively, but this question is about as loaded as possible. What's a realistic win-rate? There are no facts on that question, it is going to be completely dependent on how your play is, casino/home game, are you a winner to begin with, how long of a session can you play, does your play change as your session gets longer, etc...

It all depends on the players skill level. Lets say a professional 5/10 player sat down at 1/3, he might beat the game for 10-12 bb's per hour over a large sample. Someone less experiened then that would make around 8-10 bb's per hour and so on. A competent player who is trying to support himself on poker can win between 5-7 bb's per hour which at 1/3 translates to $15-$20 dollars an hour which isn't too bad a living as long as you budget accordingly and have a proper bankroll to withstand the swings.

Here's another piece of information that might help you understand. OTB_RedBaron is the greatest NL player in the world and he played on Poker stars Zoom NL500 which is where the greatest players in the world play and in that environment he made 7 bb's per hour

Comparing live to online Zoom really doesn't equate

What I meant to say is what is the "Top" hourly rate a good 1-3 NL player can make. My guess is somewhere around 30$ per hour and that is if his game is rock solid. Also, what would you think is a good BR for 1-3?

I try to keep my BR to somewhere around 25 BI's, so for 1/3, $7,500.
