In the mean time, I' m playing a TON of online poker for play chips and killing at a rate of 150bb/100 over 50k+ hands. It's absurd, I know... I had to quadruple check that I was calculating that right, since pokertracker doesn't work on play chip tables. I do it all by hand; I go over every hand I play and record my actions and think about what the heck happened. I have a huge spreadsheet that I use to track every pocket I get and how I played it. (Obv too much time on my hands)
Isn't it worth it to just make an initial deposit and play it? Don't those numbers and dedication on my part indicate that I've got at least a snowball's chance in hell?
I don't see why you wouldn't make a small deposit, and at least begin having some sort of hourly rate. Especially when you can do so with such a small $50 risk or so.
However to just be clear, 150bb/100 is more than just absurd. Obviously it's play chips, so probably not that hard to achieve given the play there. But just for reference sake expect 4-6bb/100 at small stakes as a pretty good winrate. I'm not sure what is attainable at microstakes nowadays (2nl-25nl), but probably a little more.
One thing though, I wouldn't advise depositing looking to quickly make money. Any money you do earn should be as a result of your dedication to playing and improving. You will very likely have a lot of leaks in your game coming from play chip games, so your first step should be correcting those.
