Some people on this forum claim that 50NL means $0.25/$0.50, while others here claim it means $50 max buy in. Which convention should be used? On regular tables they are the same because of the 100bb buy in, but on shallow $0.25/$0.50 = $20 max buy in.

If you are asking about Bankroll management then I'd have to point you to the key word "Buy-in" however, if you are just asking whether 50BB tables of 50NL are 50NL, the answer is yes.

yep, .25/.50 with any amount of buyin is still considered 50NL

The 10NL shallow tables are softer than play money tables. You'd be stupid not to.
Tilt is poker cancer. You catch it, you die.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.
