what does 5nl 10nl 25nl mean ? is see people talking about moving to different levels and they always say ex. moving from 5nl to 10nl. are they talking about sng, high amount at cash table, buy in for a tourney, buy in for a cash game ?
Since most online rooms have buyins that are 100 times the big blind its easier to refer to the level with just the buyin. Most of the time though when you go to a casino the games are referred to with the blind levels i.e. 1-2 NL, 2-5 NL . I suspect this is do to the varying rules of buyin sizes.
