1-2nl refers to a no limit betting structure where the small blind is $1 and the big blind is $2. The minimum bet at any time is $2, and the maximum bet has no limit (although generally "Table Stakes" are played, which means that you can't bet more on a hand than you had on the table at the start of the hand.)

How wide should my 3-bet range pre-flop be in low-stakes NL live play?
