Hang on just a cotton pickin' minute....

I didnt say 15PTBBs. Thats a true win rate of 30BB / 100 hands. Thats not sustainable at anything other than micro limits.

The higher stakes you go, the lower your win rate will be of course.
My win rate for $1/$2NL is about 16.5BBs (8.25PTBBs)

Playing 3 tables, this is about $60/hr. There is nobody in my database with any significant number of hands winning much more than this.

My $2/$4 win rate is lower (but still more hourly).

Like I said, the win rate will go down as you move up, so there will be people playing lower stakes than these winning more than 10PTBBs, but I doubt they'll be as high as 15PTBBs except at tiny tiny stakes.

I was making 15PTBB/100 at the Party $50 tables post stack size change (it was 10 pre-change), but have now moved up to the $100 ones where I am at about 10..

I don't play enough for 2 months stats to be ultra-reliable though..

I rekcon 20PTBB might be sustainable at 10c/25c and below but of course (as Ice says) as you go up it gets tougher.. and as i said - who would saty winning 20PTBB/100 at 10c/25c and not move up?

The month of april was my biatch as promised. I played the last week and 1/2 on Bodog...but here are some interesting stats from prima and party for my first 3 weeks of play. (didn't have the handgrabber tool for UB so UB is not included) according to pokertracker:

All 1/2NL Prima and Party
Total hands: 9,342
Total hours 52.73
Sessions: 84
Winning Sessions: 48 (57.14

OK

48 hrs
7700 hands (one third $50 NL tables, two thirds $100)
mt ratio 2.5

PTBB/100=10.33

+$1200

Bonuses:
+$434

Overall hourly rate $34/hr.

This month I learnt to play the $100 tables

wow that is moving up fast Hopy.. kind of makes my self-imposed rule of at least 3 months, 20,000 hands and 40x Bankroll look a bit conservative....

Well, sorry it's ludicrously late (like, 3 weeks...) did post in my journal though.

APRIL:

65 hours
+$4020
$62/hr winrate

Strongest month of 2005 so far, though in winrate terms May is spanking it's ass so far. Still had a couple of better months in 2004 but it's beaten my other 3 this year, I'm showing a solid increase in winrate.

April saw me go from regularly 5/6 tabling to 6 and sometimes 7 with regularity, perhaps hence the increased winrate, and I also rediscovered how to play PLO8 at the end of the month, which has been eluding me this year . Went from not much better than break even to a little under 20BB/100 for PLO8 thanks to the results in the last week or so of April.

Records show a little over $8 per table per hour winrate for the month, excluding bonuses.

Put in around 300 table hours of PLO, $100 and $200 pretty much, multitabling (I like to put up to $1k on the tables at once these days, but I spread it across a few tables ) and made about 25BB/100 in that period. PLO8, only played 20 hours or so in total in the last few days but a massive upswing saw me make the best part of $1k in that time.

NL and other games haven't really been in my canon much this year, I sat with Tighty for a while and lost a buyin + at a $100NL table, and played a bit of losing 3/6 O8 and holdem too, but nothing spectacular.

Well ahead of schedule for my $30k year target.

PS Kenny, 76 hours??? You're a pro for God's sake! Might've been a good month but you can put in more hours, surely Great work on the stats though, keep it up!

Monks right kenny, think of how many lap dances you could buy if you played 40 hrs a week
Ok just messin with you good month glad to see everyone is doing well.

Good month for me overall

Solid month for me, one of my best in a while, though May looks like it is going to blow away my numbers from april.

Probably less lap dances then you think:)

If I played 40 hours a week, I would start playing very badly. I try to take quality over quanity.
