What's a reasonable average return at a loose/shitty table at a casino, in terms of an hourly rate? I don't think the 6BB/hour ive averaged over the last two times ive went is sustainable (first two times since ive actually given any thought to limit; normally it's strictly no limit), but is it unreasonable to expect roughly 3BB/hour if you do have a firm understanding of how to play against loose/passive players?Keep in mind that im talking about the lowest available limits at the casino, which in this case is 2/5 at casino rama.

Everytime I have gone to my local casino, the $3/$6 and $1/$3 players are horrendous. Basically the same as online. I would expect a similar win rate, slowed down to equate with the rate of hands per hour. If you're going to play higher like $5/$10 the game doesn't change too much, just different colored chips. There will probably be maniacs in there raising with garbage and cracking Aces...Out of the times I have gone I have play $3/$6 about 10 times and I have made over $150 each time. I don't play a lot of hands, but the few pots that I take down are significant. Just play tight and expect a lot of very weak calling stations..

Our lowest table is 2/4, and it is just ripe with terrible players. They call and chase everything, and when they raise preflop or the river, you know they got the nuts and it's time to get out. Everytime I play, I clear about $150 just playing tight, and being agressive with the hands I do play, which is what I would suggest for any player who wants to crush a low limit game.
