    BB/hour. Is the following correct. This stands for big bets earned per hour - a big bet being twice the big blind. i.e. if you are playing 1/2 and you are making 6BB/hour , this is $24 per hour?
    What are good figures over time for BB/hour or /100? 3-5?

    Is it better to judge it /100 hands as tables will be faster/slower full ring/6 max etc

    BB/hour is useless since you can play varying numbers of tables at any one time.

    You know you can get the true hourly win rate from the sessions tab in Pokertracker.

    It depends on what level you're playing at. A very good player I don't think would be happy with that kind of return at most levels, while a recreational player or an improving player I think should be content enough with that. Basically BB/100 past 10 though not common is possible by the top players imo at most levels, though of course those who are beating the game that comfortably normally dont stay at that level for long.

    Depends on the purpose really, if you want to know what your bottom line is then it's your true hourly win rate as seen in sessions tab in pt. Statistically wise BB/100 is more telling in how much you are beating(or it's beating you) a game for the reasons you mentioned, the amount of hands you play in any given hour can vary a lot from one to the next.
