Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate my poker hourly rate?
Divide your total profit or loss by the number of hours played (excluding breaks). For example, if you won $240 in a 6-hour session with 30 minutes of breaks, your hourly rate is $240 / 5.5 hours = $43.64/hour. Our calculator handles this math automatically, including BB/hour conversion.
What is a good hourly rate in poker?
A solid hourly rate depends on the stakes you play. For live cash games, winning players typically earn 1-10 big blinds per hour (BB/hr). At $1/$2 that translates to roughly $2-$20/hour, while at $2/$5 it could be $10-$50/hour. Online win rates are generally lower in BB/hr but you can multi-table to compensate.
How many hours do I need to track for an accurate hourly rate?
Poker has high variance, so you need a large sample size for a meaningful hourly rate. Most professionals recommend tracking at least 500-1,000 hours of live play or 50,000-100,000 hands online before drawing conclusions. Shorter samples can be heavily influenced by a few big pots.
Does rake affect my hourly rate?
Yes, rake has a significant impact on your effective hourly rate. In live games, the rake is typically $3-$7 per hand, which can add up to $30-$70 per hour. Many players overlook rake when evaluating their results. Always factor in rake and any promotions or rewards that offset it.
Should I include break time when calculating hourly rate?
It depends on what you want to measure. Excluding breaks gives you your true earning rate while actively playing, which is useful for comparing across sessions. Including breaks gives you your overall hourly earnings for the time spent at the casino, which is more relevant for comparing poker to other income sources.
