But what does CO stand for? MP is mid position, (I am guessing?)

under the gun, utg=1, middle position 1/2/3, co?

am I on the right track?

[RED_RAIN]

UTG = under the gun
MP = middle position
CO = cut off
SB = small blind
BB = big blind
HERO = your position

The numbers are the number to the right of that position but some people might refer to MP3 as CO-1.

why is it called the "cut-off"

Because you act right before the button, giving you a chance to raise and cut him off of the button.
