BB/100 (Big Blinds per 100 Hands)
The standard measurement of win rate in cash games, representing how many big blinds you win on average per 100 hands played. A win rate of 5 bb/100 is considered strong at most online stakes. Because of variance, you need at least 50,000-100,000 hands to get a reliable bb/100 figure.
Example
You won 900 big blinds over 20,000 hands, giving you a win rate of 4.5bb/100. At $1/$2, that translates to $9 per 100 hands, or about $54/hour at 600 hands/hour.
