thanks for the reminder INV, I saw TPs post and meant to respond but then forgot. And I had to laugh as his lazy ass knows this as well as I do but for some reason he just passed the buck (taking the same amount of time as he would have just to answer the question). ok, so the difference between BB/100 and ptBB/100 is pretty simple.

BB/100 is big blinnds per 100 hands
ptbb/100 is big bets per 100 hands or 2 times the big blind per 100 hands.

PT was designed by limit players and therefore when they calculated the bb/100 number, they used big bets (the turn and river bets in a limit game). I think it is corrected in PT3 and HM to be big blinds/100 but it doesn't really matter. bb/100 is a live game measure IMO and for online I prefer $/hour or buyins/hr as a more informative measure of winrate as it then corrects for multitabling.
