my results from the last 242.4 hours of low limit holdem (mostly 4-8; does not include 10-20 or higher) average out to 9.49 per hour with a standard deviation of 96.54 per hour. most pros expect to make one 'big bet' per hour at holdem ($8 in 4-8; $20 in 10-20; etc.), so i feel like i'm doing well. a standard deviation of 12 'big bets' per hour seems pretty healthy to me too.
