What's a good winrate?

[Basil]

I thought 3BB = 3 big blinds and thus being $3 since the big blind is $1 in a $1/2? Is that not correct?

a BB (capital letters) stands for Big Bets. in limit hold em that would be the mimimum amount to come in on 4th and 5th streets. so 3BB's at $1/2 LHE = $6.

a bb (lower case) stands for big blinds. in no-limit and pot-limit games, 3bb at $1/2 still = $6.

however, 3BB's is a lot better than 3bb's. i'd say your long term win rate at NL should be at least twice as many bb's as BB's for the equivalent LHE rate.

BB = big bets (i.e., the turn and river bets) when talking about limit wins and losses.

It means 'big blind' when talking about position at the table.

It's 3 big bets not big blinds thus 3bb/100 at 1/2 would be 6
