Help! October-fest jargon definitions please.

I'm trying to follow the thread, but I need a little help with your short forms please:
40K hands
100NL
3BB/100
HEM
nl200 HU atm

To 26 table simultaneously how are you displaying the screens? tile/cascade/overlaid?

How do you keep track of the action without getting run-over with all the windows popping up one on top of the other while you're trying to type a bet size in another one?

Thanks in advance.

$100 no limit, which means the blinds are .50c/$1 and the maximum buy-in is $100, double the blinds for 200nl and half for 50nl etc.

Win-rate of 3 Big Bets every 100 hands. A big bet is twice the big blind (which makes it more confusing).

So 3BB/100 at 100nl (where the big blind is $1) would be 3 x $2 = $6 every 100 hands.

Rex explained the rest pretty well, but for this one I personally only 18-table (don't laugh at the only, there are several people who 24-table and some do 24 plus sngs on the side because 24's not enough). I tile them but there is overlap. Not sure what site you play on but for Stars it waits to pop another screen up before you're done on the current screen, so nothing would happen until after you've typed the bet size and hit bet.

LOL. I have a short video of me playing 24-tables. I'll have to put it back on megaupload when I get home, but I'll be happy to do so. Basically, I just overlap the tables all over each other and play as each one pops up.

As far as how I keep up with the action, I make very fast decisions and don't do anything fancy. Everything is ABC poker.

One more question....

How vital is tracker software to your overall results, and which one would you say has the most vital & user friendly information?

I tried to install PT3 with SQL once and it gave me a migrain.
