Poker win rate calculator quick answer
To convert poker win rate into hourly earnings, multiply your BB/100 by the big blind value, divide by 100, then multiply by hands played per hour. A 5 BB/100 win rate at NL50 earns $2.50 per 100 hands, or about $3.75 per hour at 150 hands per hour.
- BB/100 means big blinds won per 100 hands.
- Hourly poker income = BB/100 x big blind x hands per hour / 100.
- A 5 BB/100 winner at NL50 earns $2.50 per 100 hands before rakeback.
- Most cash game players need 50,000 to 100,000 hands before trusting a win rate.
BB/100 to dollars by stake
Use this table to sanity-check the calculator result before you plan volume or rakeback. The numbers are table profit per 100 hands, before rewards.
| Stake | Big blind | 2 BB/100 | 5 BB/100 | 8 BB/100 | 10 BB/100 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NL10 | $0.10 | $0.20 | $0.50 | $0.80 | $1.00 |
| NL25 | $0.25 | $0.50 | $1.25 | $2.00 | $2.50 |
| NL50 | $0.50 | $1.00 | $2.50 | $4.00 | $5.00 |
| NL100 | $1.00 | $2.00 | $5.00 | $8.00 | $10.00 |
| NL200 | $2.00 | $4.00 | $10.00 | $16.00 | $20.00 |
Sample hourly rate from BB/100
The same win rate pays very differently once table count changes. These examples assume 150 hands per hour on one online table, 450 hands per hour on three tables, and 750 hands per hour on five tables.
| Stake and win rate | 1 table | 3 tables | 5 tables |
|---|---|---|---|
| NL25 at 5 BB/100 | $1.88/hr | $5.63/hr | $9.38/hr |
| NL50 at 5 BB/100 | $3.75/hr | $11.25/hr | $18.75/hr |
| NL100 at 3 BB/100 | $4.50/hr | $13.50/hr | $22.50/hr |
| NL200 at 2 BB/100 | $6.00/hr | $18.00/hr | $30.00/hr |
Your BB/100 only matters after you translate it into money
A poker win rate looks clean in a tracker, but it does not mean much until you turn it into dollars. Five BB/100 sounds impressive. At NL10, it is $0.50 per 100 hands. At NL200, it is $10 per 100 hands. Same skill measurement, very different rent money.
The calculator above does the conversion that grinders actually care about: win rate, stake, hands per hour, tables, and hours played. If you play one table live, your volume is tiny and your hourly depends heavily on the game quality. If you play four online tables, your BB/100 may drop, but the extra hands can still lift your hourly income.
This is where players fool themselves. They remember their best sessions and call that their win rate. Real win rate is boring. It is the average after thousands of hands, including the sessions where you played well and still lost because the deck did what the deck does. A 5 BB/100 player can have a losing month. That does not automatically mean the estimate is wrong.
Rakeback matters too, especially on crypto poker sites. A small base win rate with reliable rakeback can beat a slightly higher win rate on a room with worse rewards and higher effective rake. Use the calculator for the table result first, then compare it with the rakeback calculator if you are choosing between rooms.
The useful habit is simple: update your assumptions every month. If you moved from NL25 to NL50, changed table count, or started playing tougher pools, your old win rate may not apply anymore. Plug in the current numbers and make decisions from that, not from the version of your results that makes you feel best.
Winrate Calc questions
How do you calculate poker win rate?
For cash games, divide your profit by the big blind value to convert it into big blinds, divide that number by hands played, then multiply by 100. If you win 900 big blinds over 20,000 hands, your win rate is 4.5 BB/100.
What is BB/100 in poker?
BB/100 means big blinds won per 100 hands. It lets you compare results across stakes. Winning $500 at NL50 and $1,000 at NL100 can be the same win rate if both equal the same number of big blinds per 100 hands.
What is a good online poker win rate?
At micro stakes, 7 to 15 BB/100 is strong. At low stakes, 3 to 8 BB/100 is good. At mid stakes, 2 to 5 BB/100 is solid. Higher games are tougher, so even strong players may average 1 to 3 BB/100.
How many hands do you need to know your poker win rate?
A small sample can lie badly. Treat 10,000 hands as a rough check, 50,000 hands as useful, and 100,000 hands or more as a stronger estimate. Variance can still produce long winning or losing stretches.
