I was checking my stats on HEM and see this unfamiliar acro. Can someone explain what is bb/100?

And is 14.74/100 good?

BB/100 refers to the number of Big Blinds won per 100 hands.
So, if you are playing 2NL, you would earn two cents for every 100 hands proft. Your number of 14.74/100 is very good, but you have to consider the sample size that it is calculated on. If it is over 200 hands, its OK, but if that is over 3000 hands, then it is very good.

While some programs track big blinds/100 (bb/100) I think HEM uses big bets/100 (BB/100) like poker tracker. If so, those are twice the big blind.

close but a BB/100 at 2nl would be 4 cents for every 100 hands, a bb/100 would be 2. Also 3000 hands is so rediculously far from being a good sample size, 30k is a decent size to judge from

Geez... that's like (networking geek alert here) the difference between KB and KiB. Kilo is the prefix for 1000, Kibi is the prefix for 1024. All those hard drives that you used to see in Kilo-bytes, were actually off by 2.4% from the real number.

Thanks for clearing that up.
