While I dabbled online, had poker tracker and all that cool software, I'm not sure it relates to live play. Maybe it does and I'm not thinking it through, but I have to imagine that a win rate of $8/hr at a 1/2 NL live game is a little low. Since the mistakes in no limit are so much more damaging than limit, I would assume a higher rate than that. At 1/2 NL, is $20/hr an unrealistic goal?

I've played limit for a couple of years now with some success. For my main game, 4/8 limit, I'm averaging about $10/hour. I know the goal win rate for limit is one BB an hour, so I must be doing something right.However, since I moved to Vegas, No Limit is the game. I've read some books and feel like I have an edge over the donk tourists out here. I've only played twice, and won both times.My question is what is a goal win rate for no limit? Do you measure it by big blinds won, or buy-ins won, or what?
