  Hi everybody !
  
  In anther part of the forum somebody wrote, as a sort of joke, that BB and bb mean different things. It's not just that some people prefer upper case and other lower case.
  
  Well, true or false ?

  Hey Tiffy2,
  
  It could be that the person doesn't know the difference between BB and bb and has just used BB to represent but these two are different.
  
  BB = Big Bets, which are used in Limit Poker.
  AND
  bb = big blind, which is most commonly used.
  
  BB's are generally twice the size of a bb.

  Regards,

  Thank you both. This explains a couple of things that I have been wondering about.
  
  In my native language "HEM" means "home".
  Jag vill gå hem.
  I want to go home.
  
  In poker lingo it probably means something else.
  
  Sorry, sorry, sorry, I do appreciate to get a straight answer to a straight question. Sometimes I can't stop myself.
