It would be a pointless exercise.

My whole point was that BB/hour cannot be relied upon to give you any real clue as to whether you are "beating" the game for all it is worth.

It is an almost useless statistic. You need thousands and thousands of hours of records for your confidence level in that statistic to be high enough to make assessments with it.

You can't play at a home game for 10 hours, and walk out satisfied, thinking, "I won 2.7BB/hour - therefore I played well." A bad player could win 2.7BB/hour, and a good player could lose that much per hour.

Even after logging the thousands of hours needed to ensure your BB/hour win rate is even legit, it STILL doesn't tell you the whole story. You can't log 10,000 hours playing at a casino 2/4 game and think that your 3BB/hour win rate means you were killing the game. That particular game might have been so bad that you really should have been beating it for 5 or 6BB/hour. Do you see what I mean?

Its a pointless, arbitrary exercise.
