BB/100 question

#1 23rd June 2007, 11:46 PM

I see often around here figures for BB/100 hands and it confuses me.

Just what is the BB part. IN places I read it is the BigBet and represents calling the BigBlind, which doesn't seem to be a big bet to me.

Please clear this up for me.

Limit: Big Bet, playing $1/$2. stats are kept vs the $2 (the larger of the two bets allowed)/100 hands
NL: Big Blind, playing $50c/$1. stats are kept vs the $1 BB/100 hands.

Used these two examples because the blinds are actually the same.

The numbers I often see are generally below 5/100, often in the 1-2/100 range. This seems extremely tight to me.

How might I read importance into that number?

This needs confirmation, but I think that the BB/100 that PokerTracker gives you (even in regards to NLHE) is equivalent to a Big Bet AKA 2 Big Blinds.

So, it represents how many times a player raises. And is that preflop, post flop, or combined?

And if one calls, does that count?

I don't think I understand what you're talking about.
One BB provided by PokerTracker is a unit of monetary measure, usually equal to 2 Big Blinds.
In other words, if your BB/100 on $25max as shown by PokerTracker = 5.55,
you are earning 5.55 * 2(.25) = $2.775 per 100 hands.

AHHHHHHH ! So it has nothing really to do with active play, but is about the results?

And might I assume this is mainly ring play?

Thanks for bringing this up. I didnt have a clue what it meant, and thanks Titans and Vanquish for the answers.

I am one of the few who doesn't use poker tracker around here so I guess I cannot comment on which it produces. On the spread sheet I use to track my rates I use the big blind since I usually play NL and is easier for me to follow and make sense of it.

By defult PokerTracker uses Big Bets for BB/100. If you are a NL player you can go to prefrences and change it to Big Blinds.

Also the BB/100 is used to measure the long term profit/loss. On my speadsheat I put it with my session statistics to the far right as one of those 'interesting' statistics that are nice to keep.

Right. BB, as defaulted by PT = "big bets" (2x the big blind), a standard usually reserved for talking about limit play. For NL, you would usually state your results as bb/100 (vs. BB/100), meaning "big blinds" won per 100 hands.

So:

BB = big bets
bb = big blinds
