    I am always hearing "don't play a big pot without a big hand". What is considered a big pot? 10xbb, 20xbb?

    13.743 BB's...anything smaller is insignificant. honestly, who cares what EXACTLY a big pot is?...don't put a lot of money in without a good hand, end of story

    A big pot is a pot that is larger than a medium pot or average pot.

    In a MTT it probably is considered 100+ bbs

    I'd say in a cash game a big pot is 200+ or 300+
