> This is considered a large win rate by professionals.

It depends on context. 4.8bb/100 is quite good for high-level online play, but wouldn't be enough to make a living at live poker. The biggest game that runs on a regular basis in most areas is $5/10. At ~33 hands per hour, that's 1.6bb or $16 an hour.

And I'd assume there was no rake in your game? That would take a big chunk out of the rate.



For one player...

$16/hr X (VM|microservice thread) could become astronomical profit.


That's why it's a good rate online where you can play multiple tables. Unlimited VMs don't help you in a live casino.
