The best I have ever done in any one session is to clear about $20 playing either .05/.10c or .10/.25c at Carbon. But I usually end up somewhere around the break-even point. What would be considered a good session at those levels?

I've sat down at tables before and seen guys with bankrolls of nearly $80 or $90 where the maximum buy-in was $25. So assuming they paid the $25, they would have cleared $65 or so. Can that typically be done?

Also, which site is best for low-stakes (BB of .25 cents or lower) NLHE? I have tried both Carbon and Bovada, and seem to have more success with Carbon.

A good session can be most accurately identified by your BB/100. I'm happy when I sit down and finish any session winning 3BB/100hands or better. Poker is a grind, there are lots of swings, so having a conservative and steady number to evaluate your play is probably best.

I've had 500 big blinds ($20) sometimes at the .02/.04 table. 250 BB ($10) there sometimes as well. This is all on Carbon Poker's site.

I play a LAG style and it works out decently for me. Whenever I play with too many limpers and people that are more aggressive, I start playing TAG. I prefer LAG though because it's more fun IMO :D

I don't think you should look at "sessions" but rather at your weekly/monthly winnings. There's just too much variance IMO.

An example of my small session on 5NL today.

I could come here and say "ermygawd this is a good session". Which in fact is true. But next time I most likely won't win this amount in this amount of hands.
Just look at your weekly IMO is more important.
