Most mis-used technical term on these forums

EV, "and it's not even close."

A bunch of posters use it interchangably with value, which shows a disturbing lack of understanding of the difference between value and expected value.

EV of the above post =.0000000001

As is true of most gossip.

Either BB (meaning big blind or big bet) or "pockets". When some one says "pockets" for a pocket pair, it just grinds on me. Any two hole cards are your "pocket" cards, if you have a pair in the hole it's a "POCKET PAIR" not "POCKETS"!

For the ignorant amongst us, what's the difference between Expected Value and Value, before an event occurs?

[Lawrence Ng]

UTG = Usually Too Good?

[Neil Stevens]

The fact that you put that qualifier "before an event occurs" on there means you already know the difference.

The value of a non-random event is the expected value, but the expected value of a random event is not always the value.
