Im struggling abit with this lingo guys atm can somebody please tell me the blind structure of the following.

5NL

Also how do you work out what the blinds are if somebody says they are playing 600 NL for example

5nl just means with a maximum buy-in of 5 dollars, usually with either blinds of .02/.04 or .02/.05. 10nl is .05/.1, etc.

600nl would most likely be played with blinds 3/6

Usually, the max buy in is 100x the bb.

Personally, I prefer the Poker Tracker nomenclature instead of 10NL and the like. In the case of $0.02/$0.05 NL and $0.05/$0.10 NL on Poker Stars, they both have a max buy-in of $10, so here 10NL is ambiguous and doesn't really tell you the exact stakes. NL($0.05) and NL($0.10) are more clear in this respect.

Yeah, but usually in these cases, with deep stacks, most people will call it by 100bb's. So pokerstars $0.02/$0.05 Becomes NL5(deep)
