SNG = sit n' go. The word comes from Pokerstars. In general it just means any tournament where there's no pre-registration. You just sit down and when all the seats are filled the tournament starts.

LOL- typical S&M,all the information but not in alphabetical order to be easy to reference!

Check out the abbreviation section in the directory on the left hand side of the screen.

It should give you most of the main ones you need.

I think these should definately be on that list:

CO = Cut off (player before the Button)

UTG+1 = player after UTG

EP = Early position

MP = Mid position

LP = Late position

B&M = Bricks and Mortar Casino (real life game as opposed to online)

SnG = Tournament where play starts when all the seats are filled (usually one or two table)

The Zoo = The Internet Forum

KotZ = King of the Zoo (big series of tournaments for posters on the internet forum)

TPTK = Top pair top kicker

RGP = Rec.Gambling.Poker newsgroup

NLHE = No Limit Holdem

PF = Pre flop

PFR = pre flop raise


and I am sure there are plenty more

Anyone know how to get these added to the list?
