Message: [QUOTE="jhdocholliday, post: 1720616, member: 79945"] Thanks for the reply graf. Although, if I am understanding you correctly, it would seem you are indicating the situation may be even more complicated than i originally thought. You have introduced a system i didn't even suspect, namely, that the single number preceding "nl" format might indicate the...amount of the buyin in dollars!?!...along with an assumption that this buyin correlates to a 100bb max buyin for the table in question? That just sounds like a crazy way to talk about poker. Considering that, for one, many tables have max buyin limits that are greater than 100bb, and sometimes even lesser, and two, that many players frequently do not buy in for exactly 100bb. Which would seem important only if we start referencing our poker session in terms of the amount of dollars we bought in to the table with. And you're suggesting that might be the standard here, as far as you can see? lol don't be offended, im just really surprised the situation, for what seems like a simple thing, is actually this confusing. If there is some sort of system in use as you suggest, it would explain why some people are using the single number followed by nl format while others are using the two number with a slash in between format. Which is because they are using two entirely different reference methods; whereas previously i thought one was just the lazy typists shorthand. Also in your last statement in parentheses you said "(1nl=1$BB=100nl)". After reading your post several times, I THINK I understand what you are getting at, which is perhaps that live cash games where people say 1 they mean a dollar bb whereas on this forum when people want to mean a dollar bb they would need to type 100? Still, although you are trying to help, without many more words than you've typed, surely you can see how confusing your statement is 1nl=100nl. 1=100. That's just plain not logical, mathematically or otherwise. Of course life is not always logical, and communication has its double entendres, but if the system you suggest is in fact the standard here, then surely i am not the only one confused. I do appreciate your help and hopefully others will weigh in with their knowledge and experience on the subject. [/QUOTE]
