This poker blog is mostly about the micro stakes so I will start there. So I will provide some wild speculations below on what is a good poker hourly rate. And they want to know the exact numbers too! This just isn't how the game works.īut I know by now that no matter what I say here most people don't care and they will keep asking me this question anyways. So before I even get into this you need to know that there really is no such thing as a poker hourly rate. That is how poker works sometimes though, even for the very best players in the world. I don't know of any other job out there where you can show up for work and at the end of the month the boss says that you need to give him money! In poker some months you will be up and some months you may even be down. Now as I often say though, poker is not like a regular job where you can expect to just show up and earn a fixed income. Winning high stakes poker players will make $500 an hour, $1000 an hour or more.
Winning poker players at mid stakes will make between $50 and $300 an hour.
Winning poker players at low stakes will make between $10 and $20 an hour.
