Paperwork

[Galilee]

I've been playing PokerStars' 5c/10c NL game for a few weeks and been doing okay. Thinking about moving up to 10c/25c, so I suppose I'd better start thinking about keeping track of how much I make, and how much I should make, on a hand by hand basis.

I've just been playing it until I got to $100, but who knows how many hands that took! I estimate I get through about 50 hands an hour on each table, and I play very tight at the moment while playing 4 tables at the same time.

How many BB does a good player make every 100 hands at low level NL? And when people talk about BB in NL do they mean big blinds or big bets (2 x big blind)?

Cash out some of your $100 and buy poker tracker. BB = big blind as far as I know.

As far as I know BB means Big bet... although its stupid and makes no sense for NL, its how Pokertracker does it, so thats what most people mean... For example, I'm 7.32 BB/100 on my pokertracker stats for $1 BB game at Party, so that means I'm $14.64 ($1 x 2 x WR) per 100 hands. Like I said, I have no idea why they do this, other than thats the way pokertracker was programmed (like a limit game), but I'm pretty sure that most people on here will be speaking in big bets for NL when they say NL... there have been several threads about this.

PokerTracker will help you greatly.

generally any winrate above .01bb/100 is a good start.
