I'm reading phil Gordons little green book and he talked about "for me to break even I need to..." what does break even mean?

break even means you aren't losing money and you aren't winning money

eg. say you invested $10 in games and you made $10.... that would be break even

It means to have an ROI of 0%. Basically you don't win anything and you don't lose anything over a sample of hands for cash or # of tournies etc then you are break even.
