| Your Blind is a forced bet you have to make - BB = Big Blind, SB = Small Blind (half the big bet). Protecting your blind is simply not folding when someone raises you pre-flop, but whether it's the right thing to do is another matter (generally players tend to lose money playing from the blinds, so it's simply a matter of losing as little as possible). |

| 1. CBet is a continuation bet. When you raise preflop, after the flop hits, to bet whether you hit it or not is a continuation bet. 2. BB/100 is either big bets per 100 hands or big blinds per 100 hands. People keep this statistic to see how much they make per x hands. 3. ROI, is rate of income. It is based on how much buy in for, how often, and how often you win. Let someone else explain this in more details since I am not too familiar. |

| re: a few rookie type questions poker And to calculate your ROI, the formula is simple: Total Profit / Investment*100 = ROI % (Note that Total Profit = Total Winnings - Investment...do not skip this, ROI is based on Total Profit, not total winnings.) So for a tournament with a buy-in of $11.00 and say you win $45. Your Total Profit = $45 - $11 = $34. Your ROI = $34/$11 = 3.0909 * 100 = 309.09% Or, same calculation in a single formula is: (Winnings - Buyins) / Buy-ins * 100 |
