people use the term BB all the time, what does it mean? does it have different meanings? some examples.
Dude, don't. You're destroying the game at a rate of 20bb/hr. Don't mess with it.
You can find the accurate numbers for a proper bankroll all over this great forum of ours. But I like 12-15 buyins for No Limit (Maybe even 20 for 6max), 300BB for limit and 20-30 buyins for tournies. If you play a little from column A (limit) and a little from columb B (Tournies or NL) a good rule of thumb for your bankroll size is never risk more than 5-10% of it on any given day.
it seems youre afraid of playing AK post flop so youre over betting the pot to take it down pre flop, maybe you should take the amount of BB bets down a little so you can win more with your post flop play.
I think your best bet is just to bet out 4-6BB with every hand that you raise preflop unless your sure they are gonna call you like I sometimes come out preflop with 7.5xBB when I know its the type of table where thats what I have to do to get my aces heads up.....I also however come out with 7.5xBB with any hand in postion that I think I can pick up the blinds....my suggestion would be to go about 5xbb with AK and get 1 maybe 2 callers...Then if you miss toss out a pot sized bet and if you hit toss out a pot sized bet either way you usually win.
