Lingo Question!

[Capt. Busto]

No 200NL implies that the standard buyin is $200. It is suggested to play NL with a buyin of 100 times the big blind so that is why $1/$2 blinds is reffered to as 200NL.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks muchly, Busto.

its a players winrate specific to the program pokertracker

it means 'big bets per 100 hands played"

so with a 2BB/100 and 2000 hands played, that's +40BB

It's actually not specific to PT, as the concept has been around a lot longer. PT, however, makes it possible to track the number very easily. A live player will more likely keep track in BB/hr since he can't realistically keep track of the number of hands he's played. This is what a player is talking about when he refers to his hourly winrate.

OK great.

Another one for you guys!

When someone is floating.. What does that mean? I was just reading Cry Me A Rivers, The Well thread and it was mentioned in there...

[ph2133868789]

That's a new one for me. Does it mean they have a full boat (house)?

Just read this in Pokey's Hand Reading post

"float" (smooth-call on the flop with the intent of taking the pot on the turn)

Kinda like slowplaying, I guess?

*bump*

No one knows what floating is?

[GMontag]

Floating is when you smooth call a better with the intent of bluffing to take down the pot on a later street.
