BB/100

Big blinds won per 100 hands — the standard cash-game win-rate metric.

What is BB/100 in poker?

BB/100Big blinds won per 100 hands — the standard cash-game win-rate metric. BB/100 is the number of big blinds won per 100 hands played — the standard cash-game win-rate metric. It normalizes results across stakes: a player winning 5 BB/100 at $1/$2 has the same per-hand skill edge as a player winning 5 BB/100 at $5/$10. Win rates are typically positive for winning players, negative for losing players, and rarely exceed 10 BB/100 sustainably at mid-stakes or higher.

Formula

BB/100 = (net big blinds won / hands played) × 100

Example

A player who wins 1,000 big blinds over 20,000 hands has a realized BB/100 of (1,000 / 20,000) × 100 = 5 BB/100. The 95% confidence interval at this sample size is roughly -2 to 12 BB/100 with normal SD, meaning the realized number is signal+noise.
