A big bet (BB) is a poker term used to describe the largest allowed bet in a limit-structured game. For example, in a $2/$4 Texas Holdem game, the big bet would be $4, wagered in each bet of the last two cards. The $2 would be the small bet, wagered during all other bets of the game.
A player winning one or two BBs per hour or two to three BBs per hundred hands is considered to have a good win-rate.
Given that a small bet is generally half of a big bet and that a small blind is generally half of the small bet, the smallest possible BB in casino style holdem is four cents. The largest required BB in regular play is that of $8000 at the Bellagio in Las Vegas. At this table, professionals like Doyle Brunson, Phil Ivey, Daniel Negreanu, Chau Giang, and Gus Hansen, along with rich tourists, are required to wager $4000 or $8000 in each bet of each round of the game.
