Variables for formulas

bb - big blind value;

bb also can be used as postfix for the values defined in big blinds (ex. 3bb for 3 big blinds);

x - prefix for pot size bet calculation (ex. x1.5 for one and a half pot bet, etc). If you need to do it not with a direct but with a calculated value, then specify the formula for calculation in parentheses - for example, x(stack/25+1)
