I'm new to reading about poker online and I think these forums are very helpful. I jut have a few questions about certain abbrev you guys use.

What is +EV?

What is 2+2 play?

Does 2BB mean twice the amount of the big blind?

If there are any other abbreviations I forgot to mention on here, could you guys quick clear them up for me? it would help a lot. Thanks.

CO = Cutoff (the position immediately to the right of the button)

2BB = 2 big bets, which would be 4 big blinds.

UTG+1 refers to a position "one better" than UTG, that is, second to act before the flop, right after UTG. Apply similar logic to UTG+x.
