I believe sometime in early 2007 a PT update changed the whole PTBB/100 (big bets) to BB/100 (big blinds). This is one reason why everyone at 2+2 thinks they are poker gods, because they don't keep good enough records to realize they think they are winning twice as much as they are.

OK, let's figure this out. For NL200 ($1/$2 blinds), I am up $1535.30 this month through 2446 hands (don't worry - I'm down in NL400). So, in real life, speaking in Big BLINDS / 100 (the easier way to think about this), that's $1535.30/2 = 767.65 Big Blinds / 24.46 = 31.38 Big Blinds/100.

Yet PT tells me I'm running at 15.69 BB/100, so it is obviously referring to Big BETS / 100.

So while that means the 2p2 guys are as good as they think they are, it actually means I'm twice as good as I thought I was

So........................ the $25 per hour discussed above is actually $50 per hour. Probably still not enough to keep Mayhem from jabbing pushpins in his eyes, but you never know.

Better yet: 3 BB/100 at NL200 = $12/100. Playing 600 hands per hour, you're making $72 per hour. Not too shabby.

Someone please correct me if my math/logic is wrong anywhere here.

one of the things i love about you TP is that you are a lazy bastard by yourself, but given the opportunity to prove someone wrong, you will get it done.

It's PT BB's. So big bets. 2BB/100 is $8. You actually run about 70 hands per table per hour on avg in full ring based on my estimates(mixing fast and regular speed). That equates to $72 an hour. There are very few things you can do and get paid $72 per hour(using 60 hands per table per hour to be safe and I 15 table.) not to mention adding fpp's or rakeback on top depending on site.

Yeah... I have to say, I don't really get Mayhem's "line" here. If he's earning more than $72 per hour from poker or otherwise, .

I have to say... this is pretty much dead on. I may have added the word "extremely" before lazy, but other than that, spot on...
