    Default bb/100

    this is probably a stupid question but when somebody says they make 5bb/100 does that mean they make 5 big blinds worth of money every 100 hands?

    i have poker tracker too but i only just started using it.
    it says i have a $22.49 win rate per 100 hands and a 44.97 BB won per 100 hands...but i play at $25 NL...if i won $22.49 per 100 hands wouldn't the number of BB be that number x4 since there are 4 quaters in a dollar?

    thanks in advance and sorry if this question is stupid.

    over there
    In this context BB stands for Big Bet which is twice the big blind, in your case at 25NL, its 50 cents.

    So 44.97 x .50 = $22.49

    Big Bet comes from limit poker or some crap like that.

    Thats not where I was told that BB in limit = Big Blind and in NL = 2x big blind

    I just know what I was told, so I dont know for sure =)

    You filtered it wrong. BB in limit is Big Bet, which is twice the big blind. For accounting purposes in NL, it's also twice the big blind when talking about win rate (to be consistent), even though "Big Bet" means something completely different =)
