Just to make it clear,
when people here say to bet 4-6x BB, do they mean 4-6x Big Bet (like BB in poker tracker) or 4-6x Big Blind?
(For a 0.25/0.5$ game Big Blind is 0.5$ and Big Bet is 1$)

When talking about bets its Big Bet. When talking about position is Big Blind. I am a limit player so at a $3/$6 table the BB is 6.
This is incorrect. 1 big blind is equal to 1 small bet and 1 small blind is usually half. So at a $2/$4 table, the small blind is $1 and the big blind is $2.Quote:

for a 0.25/0.50 NO LIMIT game, the small blind is 0.25 and the big blind is 0.50. one big bet is considered to be 2x the big blind, or $1 in this case.
for a 0.25/0.50 FIXED LIMIT game, the big blind is 0.25 and one big bet is 0.50.
so both of you are correct depending on the type of game you are referring to.

Yes, I only play NL games, but forgot to say so this time.
Thanks ChezJ :)
I think it usually means they raise 4-6x Big Blind preflop.Quote:
