We've been building a poker tracker since 2012, and some questions keep coming back. What's a good win rate? How long should a session be? Am I ready to move up? Here are our answers, with the numbers behind them.
All guides
Are you ready to move up in stakes?
The bankroll rule is the easy half. The harder one is whether you've got evidence you beat your current game — around 1,500 live hours of it — and how to read that out of your own records.
Session disciplineHow long should a poker session be?
There's no universal number, but there is a point where the hours stop paying. Why one tired mistake can cost you four hours of play, the signs it's time to go, and how to find your own limit.
Win rateWhat is a good win rate in live poker?
5–10 big blinds an hour is solid. How to express a win rate, why your real hourly is probably lower than the one you quote, and how long a sample it takes before the number means anything.
Your edge starts right here.
