If you are a cash player, how much is your daily profit on average?

[Edgerik]

I am starting in cash and my average profit is 5 to 10 $ in micro limits, I think it is quite acceptable, what do you think?

Hey man , we have played against in some tables in the past . I am new to cash games too and hope that a more experienced cash games player will answer this question.

In general, I have read that you should win above 5 BBS/100 , you can see this statistic if your are a HUD user and also take a look at your C/100.Those numbers as far as I know a universal indication in how you perform at the tables.Also to be as accurate as possible we need to have a sample greater than 50.000 hands?!?!

Also we must take into account how many hands are you playing per session.For example in how many hands you have that profit in 500,1000,2000 hands?But if we are talking about 2NL I think it is a decent profit per session IMHO.

When do you think it's worth investing in a HUD? I wouldn't be using it to track my winnings, but I've heard it provides statistics on the tendencies of your opponents. I'm generally unsure about the benefits of HUDs.

From a monetary standpoint the best trackers like PT4 are probably not worth the investment at 2-5NL. But if you play for profit, it should not be your end goal to play 2-5NL for the rest of your life. You are playing these limits mostly for practice, and having a tracker makes it easier to learn and improve. For instance PT4 has a function called leak tracker, which you can start to use, when you have around 10k hands. So rather than seeing the 79$, which a license cost, as "wasted", see it like investing in a pair of quality shoes, if you want to start running.

"They had us in the first half... "
I was allmost thinking you were suggesting not to ivenst in a HUD. lol


OT:
I think the money is well invested. Tracking, reviewing your game and exploiting opponents becomes much easier. Then again, for a Hud to really work you need relevant samplesizes of hands, so what you could also do is play x amount of hands an then review your first sample, let's say 50k hands? This may take a while, wich you can use to work on your basics.

Also people allways say when someone starts off, he should split the time invested for poker 50/50 playing and studying. I therefore think we can make an argument for also splitting our BR 50/50 play and study. So idk what a smallstakes license of Hm3 or pt4 costs these days but it used to be 50 bucks?

Fundivers last sentence concludes it pretty well.

Oh, and I had $ 10 and in 1 day I lost my accumulated bankroll. Three times my 2 aces moved in one day !!!:rock:

I think the HUD is a must have especially in cash games , even in PS zoom games which are the most crowded, you will see the same opponents again and again if you play there regularly.
What @fundiver199 has mentioned about the Leak Tracker and the option to tag specific hands in order to review them after your game in the replayer , wow right? Super helpful.

I play some micro MTTs on GG / Party and I don't need a HUD, in those stakes you will play against different opponents everyday.A label and some notes make the job for me. In cash games more skill is involved.

So to answer the question , about cash games , I think is a must have tool , choose a tracker with a replayer , I wouldn't recommend something like Jivaro - it doesn't have a built-in replayer. There are many options out there , do a little research. I think some of them have a lifetime licence from $50 but I really don't want to advertise anything.

I have no profit yet. I haven't found myself in poker yet. Where exactly to play​

 

[MishkaZL]

I think this is a very good result. I prefer tournaments, and on average my weekly income is about $ 15-20.

 

[dgroes]

im bit skeptic bout cash games but guys thanks for posting your XP here on CC

 

[alsorory]

we can't guarantee to have daily profit in poker because it depends on luck and it is not a business to get always profit

 

[messats]

i use to make a decent profit till i busted and went broke, due to playing bigger stakes, will be reloading soon and hopefully apply some discipline, and remain playing small stakes till my bankroll grows

 

[offeron]

Yes, viral comments are off topic, but I think in cash games the main thing is to stop during and take a break after a certain profit, when you play for a long time you start making more mistakes.

 

[Gallarado777]

I think cash games are not so popular now it's better to play in a tournament and win big prize money there I think a lot of people are chasing it

 

[Snake2007]

I don't play for cash all the time, but on the day I play, it depends on the stake I have, I can win 20 dollars that day I can also win 5 dollars....

I rarely play cash games and never On-line, it is too easy to lose your money fast! Tournament Poker and SnGs are my preferred game but whatever you play the Importance of a solid Bankroll Strategy is always paramount in deciding which games to buy into.
I have had days where I cannot win or even cash in a single game, then I have other days where I cannot lose and I am always making the money, This variance leads me to believe in Bankroll Management and overall if I look at my balance and it is up I can relax and be happy with how I am playing.
I always say "Poker is Fun" and there is no fun when you are losing money, Making regular deposits to your Bankroll is definitely a sign that somewhere your game play is off and needs to be addressed!
Keep an eye on the Pennies and the Pounds will look after themselves.

The OP isn’t around but I will reply for the sake of other forum members:
I play NLHE 2 and my winrate could be translated to 15/100 BB hour, or $ 0.30 cents per hour. I play just one table.

 

[nerobs9]

I very rarely play cash) Therefore, I think that I have almost no profit there. I'm used to MTT discipline, and it's very hard to play cash after it)

 

[oleg8519]

I've been playing for a long time and profit is not just about employment
