Terminology
 

There're some words/expressions that are unclear and I cannot find their meaning:

coordinated board
ABC poker
gnoming
isolate
mixed game (as in "$400-$800 mixed games at The Bellagio")

Some of them, like ABC poker, I'm asking just to be sure there's no "hidden" meaning

Re: Terminology
 

Here's a couple:

I'll try to add the rest as I have time.

Re: Terminology
 

ABC poker - playing straightforward, non-tricky poker, i.e. betting/raising when you have a good hand and checking/folding when you don't. Example: The rock in seat 3 was an ABC player so when he raised I knew I was beat.

Isolate - to raise or re-raise a player on your right, hoping the rest of the field will fold, leaving it heads-up.

Gnoming: The practice of getting multiple accounts with the same site using the names of family, friends and pets so you can get reload bonuses multiple times. Don't do this.

It's against the Terms & Conditions and can get your money confiscated and your accounts banned.

"wa/wb" ?
(As in "this looks like an occasion to use that cool wa/wb-line I've learned from the forums, and gone c/c, c/c, bet")

Sheridan or someone just told me WA/WB the other day, btw.

Way Ahead / Way Behind - like being in the big blind with A4 and a ragged board with an Ace flops. You're probably either way ahead because your opponent doesn't have an Ace or way behind because he does with a better kicker.

Re: Terminology
 

"Redraw" (as used in SSHE)? Sometimes it seems it's an additional draw you have (as in runner-runner flash draw) sometimes it seems it's a draw your opponent may have.. The glossary in the book is silent.
