This confuses me a bit.. Let's say I'm playing a 5/10 limit game.. you're saying that over 100 hands if I make $20 I'm doing good?

That just can't be right...

Over a large number of hands it's correct. You might make $1000 one session and loose $980 the next. But over many thousands of hours/hands your BB/100 should average out to >= 2BB/100 for a good player.

As you move up limits this will probably decline, I know players who crushed lower limits up to 10/20 but find themselves running around 1-1.5BB/100 at say 30/60.

And, if you multitable this number will drop, for every table you add, you will lose some edge. Of course, you want to increase your overall win-rate so the actual amount you win per hour should still increase (as you play more hands) even though your BB/100 drops.
