What does BB/100 mean?

[random50]

I know it's "big bets per 100 hands". The reason I ask is because I've just noticed that pokertracker uses "big bet=2*big blind". Is this the same thing people use when they discuss their winrate, or are they just using "big bet=big blind"?

Probably related, what does PTB/100 refer to?

BB = big bets in limit poker. If the game is 2/4, a BB = $4

In NL, PTBB + 2 * Big blind, so if you're playing 100NL with .50/1.00 blinds 1 PTBB = $2

However, PT allows you to display NL stats in BBL now so PTBB is a ridiculous anachronism. Anyone using BB/100 to talk about NL and just ASSUMING the rest of the world takes that to mean a magical unit that never existed outside of PokerTracker should be strongly encouraged to join us in 2007. If you must continue using such a goofy unit, use BBet/100 so at least it's clear what you're doing.

See also http://poker.wikia.com/wiki/Beginner...00_and_BB.2Fhr - but it probably needs some updating for NL.
