Fully agree jbones. Last week I sat down and got into a game for 4 buy-ins within 90 minutes. (pain... can you say "ouch"?) I even got down to $60 from that last buy in at one point, but I played 6 hrs more and cashed out for a $24 profit. If I don't make that turn around my rate/hr is a couple BB lower over the sampling. I know that I have a fairly small sampling at 15hrs/wk for 2 mo's. I have a total of 4 losing sessions in that period, 2 bad, two very minor.
I will say that I have friends who are mid-level pros that make that rate consistently week in and week out over long periods of time.
A couple points to thow out here... the word average shouldn't be considered. I think an average player in these games is going to bleed money in the long run. The good players are going to make a fair amount of money. The great ones kill it and move up quickly.
