BB / 100

cfjr2 · #1 05-13-2005, 10:33 AM

When people talk of making 2BB / 100 - is this per 100 hands dealt or per 100 hands you enter the pot through a blind and/or bet?
thanks

It wouldn't make sense any other way. If you kept track by hands played past the flop, the number would be more dependent on starting hand selection than whether you were a winning or losing poker player.

Imagine player A and player B both make an average of 2BB on every hand they play past the flop. Are they equally successful poker players?

Hopefully your answer was not enough info. Lets say player A only sees flops when he has AA,KK,QQ and player B follows a starting hand chart he got from a book that has him play about 20% of his hands outside the blinds. Now who do think is a more successful player?

Hopefully you now realize that player A is losing all his money to the blinds since AA-QQ only comes along once every 74 hands and that 2BB is not paying for 8 rounds of blinds. Player B is probably a winning player if he is averaging 2BB / hand played and playing one out of every 5 hands outside the blinds.

When you look at BB/100 hands dealt, you have a meaningful number that has a direct correlation with how much money a player is making playing poker.

it is per table you play. that's why you should really get multitabling as fast as you can so you can get your BB/100 tables higher [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I'm making 9.5/100 at stars .02/.04 and am pretty sure its sustainable

Well if you get matched up against me in C.H.U.M.P. you are going to pretty swiftly drop to -45BB/100 [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

I wonder if you could have some kind of measure of postflop play though, like (BB^x)/100 hands played where x is something like 1+(VPIP/100).
