A big bet is a poker term used to describe the a certain bet in a limit-structured game. In other words, in a $2/$4 game, the big bet would be $4. A good win-rate is typically 1-2 BB (big bets) per hour, or 2-3 big bets per 100 hands played. Likewise, a small bet is $2 in this game. Currently, the smallest limit game available is the .01/.02 game, and the largest is the $4k/$8k game, offered as required by Bellagio in Las Vegas. Some of the notable players in the 4K/8K game are Doyle Brunson, Phil Ivey, Daniel Negreanu, Chau Giang, and Gus Hansen. Additionally, there may be a rich player sitting at the table who may not be qualified to play with these poker legends.
