Question about what BB is?

#1 03-07-2008, 11:57 PM

Is BB like when they say Big Bet is that the big blind or 4x the big blind? Are winning players in no limit also rated on BB's won per # of hands?

1 big bet(BB) is 2 big blinds(bb)

^^^ that answers this question. ( say big blind is $10. bb x 2 = $20 or Big Bet)

Yes. Even though the term Big Bet strictly applies to Limit, BB/100 hands is the most common guage of success or lack thereof in both Limit and No Limit Hold'em cash games. This is a point of great confusion in many threads relating to NLH. It has become customary to use the lower case bb/100 when refering to big blinds/100 (hands) and uppercase BB/100 when refering to Big Bets/100. Incidently, a profit of only 1 BB/100 hands is considered the minimum return that a professional player needs to make a living. At $50/$100 that might be $30-$40/hr (live).
