Big Bet is a term derived from
Limit holdem, where there are two bet sizes - the big
blind pre-
flop and on the
flop, and 2xthe big
blind on the
turn and
river. Hence a big bet is 2x the big
blind.
This term is often used by people when describing win-rates, as an early poker database programme (poker tracker) measured winrates in big bets/100 hands.
People now often use the abbreviation
ptBB/100 to describe winrates - as in poker tracker big bets/100 hands.
Example: Wow, i'm crushing 25nl. I'm running 8ptBB/100 over 40k hands. Time to move up.
