Hourly Rate

Poker Glossary

Hourly rate refers to how much one wins or losses per hour. For example, suppose someone lost $100 playing poker over 20 hours of play. That person's hourly rate is -$5. People also refer to hourly rate in terms of BB/hour. For example, if that person who lost $100 was playing $1-$2 limit, this means he or she lost 50 big blinds over 20 hours. Thus that person's hourly rate could also be measured as -2.5 big bets an hour. Please note, that for no-limit games, BB/hour generally refers to big blinds per hour.
