Quick question...

When you guys talk about

25NL or 50NL ... what is that? Is it the max buy-in of the table? Not sure I understand

Thanks

Think you mean...

25NL = No limit cash game, $25 buyin, blinds are usually .10/.25
50NL = No limit cash game, $50 buyin, blinds are .25/.50

At least on PS and FT they are... Max buyin 100xBB

What compu said:


Tilt has also got some deepstack tables as well but they are separated by odd buyins and blinds. These tables have (deep) in the description in the client.

.15/.30 you can buyin for $60 so 200BB
.40/.80 you buying for $100 again 200BB
and so on.

For the most part, 100NL means 0.50/1...so the number before the NL (#NL) is the max-buy-in..and typically max buy-in is 100x big blind..

sometime it can also be use as following
NL ($0.10) = 10NL = 0.5/0.1NL
NL ($0.25) = 25NL = 0.10/0.25 NL
NL ($0.50) = 50NL = 0.25/0.5NL
NL ($1) = 100NL = 0.5/0.1 NL
