    What is Big Blind (BB) in poker?

    The Big Blind (BB) is the mandatory bet posted by the player sitting two seats to the left of the dealer button, before any cards are dealt. In No-Limit Hold'em, the BB is the standard unit for measuring stack sizes and tournament speed — players commonly describe their stack as "I have 40 BB" rather than quoting a dollar amount, since this number reflects how much play is actually left.
