BB/100 (big blinds per 100 hands) is the standard measure of poker winrate. It normalizes your results across different stake levels so you can compare performance. A 5 BB/100 winrate at NL50 means you earn 5 big blinds ($2.50) for every 100 hands played.
Typical winrates by stake level: At micro stakes (NL2-NL10), strong players can achieve 7-15 BB/100. At low stakes (NL25-NL50), good players typically win 3-8 BB/100. At mid stakes (NL100-NL200), a solid winrate is 2-5 BB/100. At high stakes (NL500+), even top players may only average 1-3 BB/100 due to tougher competition.
Multi-tabling multiplies your total hands per hour but may reduce your per-table winrate due to less attention per decision. Many online grinders find their optimal table count balances volume against decision quality. On crypto poker sites, faster hand speeds often mean more hands per table per hour.
Volume reduces variance. Over 1,000 hands, your results might swing wildly from expectation. Over 100,000 hands, your actual results will be much closer to your true winrate. This is why professionals track their results over tens of thousands of hands before drawing conclusions about their true winrate at a stake.
Note: This calculator provides theoretical projections. Actual results depend on game selection, mental state, opponent quality, and natural variance.
