I got a question. I usually see people talking about the stakes at which they play at, so sometimes I will read people saying they play at 2NL,5NL,10NL. What does that mean?

That is the amount of worthless American dollars that you need to spend to get 100 big blinds in an unlimited hold them game

The number represents the dollar (US dollar) figure to buy into the game with 100bb.

So a 2NL game has a buyin of $2.00. The blinds will be .01/.02 meaning the small blind posts a penny, the big blind posts two pennies. The big blind ($.02) x 100 = $2.00 buy in.

Another example ...10NL
Buy in $10.00 (100bb)
Blinds .05/.10

Welcome to poker, and well done on finding the right thread, even if you might have missed the right part of it.

The first post in this thread is a link to the Beginners Forum FAQ. Click there and expand the list: item 41 is a glossary of words that might be new to you. 3-bet is covered. It doesn't really define 4-bet but you can work it out from 3-bet.

Read all the entries in that FAQ, and the links from the next post in this thread too.
