Whats a average return on cash?

robc

 Hiya im fairly new to playing cash as my main format, and was just wondering how much is a good return? recently i have been playing a couple of hours a night as been busy and been on average about 2 Buy Ins up. obviously had the odd bad day but this is my average return in the few weeks ive been playing regularly.  

 

Just wondered what the cash regs consider a average return?

I wouldn't consider thinking about it until I had played enough hands to get a reasonable sample.

You could play for 1 hour and win £500 at NL50 but if that was just from 10 AA vs Kk which all held in pre then it doesn't really matter, isn't an example of your win rate in any way and will most likely just make you over confident and or completely misjudge your skill level.

Back in the day maybe 4 years ago 50k hands was a super big sample whereas now with the aggression in todays games you want 6 figure samples. A couple of weeks worth of sessions where you just play your best forget about the counters we use to score and just try to keep making the best decisions you can. Make sure you keep records of your sessions, length, table strength, how well you played, and results. Then go back over them after your time period is up.

 And wow winning £500 on nl 50 is along way for me just yet (more like £25-£30 on 4-8p haha)

Winning 500 at NL50 is the same as 300 at nl30 and 40 at nl4 the game is just big blinds.

But the opposition is alot harder at NL50 thats what i was getting at if i popped onto a NL50 table atm i would get crushed unless got a nice run of luck lol

+1 agree you need at least an 100k+ sample to work out your average return on cash, only problem is if you only play one table...thats about 1000 hours grinding cash lol.

GL grinding :-)

Lol very good point, i have tried multi tabling and dont mind 2 but for me takes all the fun out of it if i go any more than that.
