im so new that i dont know what bb/100 means
 

at the risk of sounding ignorant i am going to ask a question for all of us who are in the very early stages of playing poker seriously - what does bb/100 stand for/mean? also if there are any other vocabulary terms that you would be willing to define i would really appreciate it - thanks

Re: im so new that i dont know what bb/100 means
 

This stands for Big bets one per 100 hands. So if you are playing 1/2 limit poker, and your bb/100 is 2, you win 4 dollars every 100 hands.

so its kind of like an hourly rate in poker terms (without being an hourly rate of course)? also this is an impossible stat to calculate at NL?

Yep, easier to measure because some people play more hands/hr. than others.

You can use it just as easily in NL. NL though you actually have to do some math because PT will figure a BB as twice the size of the Big Blind. So if you have a 15 BB/100 in the .50/1.00 NL, you actually earned $30.00/100 hands.

I too am lingo impaired. What the heck is a "skin" and can someone help me with the pros and cons of certain sites. I have only played on empire so far...

Thanks alot

A skin is just like an affiliated, or sister site to.....for instance Empire is considered a Party skin.....they use the same software, and folks registered with one can play on the other.
