Hourly Rate
The amount of money you expect to win per hour of play, calculated from your win rate and the number of hands per hour. Multi-tabling increases your hourly rate by multiplying the hands played. For example, a 3 bb/100 win rate at $0.50/$1.00 playing 500 hands/hour equals approximately $15/hour before rakeback.
Example
You play 4 tables of $1/$2 averaging 300 hands/hour total. At 4bb/100, you earn about 12 big blinds/hour, or $24/hour before rakeback.
