I would ordinarily direct you to http://poker.wikicities.com/wiki/List_of_abbreviations , but since Wikia's server is not responding very well...
Way ahead/way behind I.e. you're either one or the other, but you don't know which. |

For example, you flop top set on a monochrome flop. [/ QUOTE ] Thanks for giving an example (perhaps the FAQ should do the same?), but in my experience people often mean the "WB" to be farther behind than that. With a set you have seven outs on the turn and ten on the river to fill up or make quads. "Way behind" often means worse than a 2:1 shot, at least in my observation. For example, imagine you have KK against two opponents (one loose, who plays any ace and a lot of other junk too). Sure enough, you get an Axx uncoordinated flop. If no one paired aces, you're probably way ahead -- your opponent may have a five-outer at best. But if anyone paired aces or made a set, you're drawing at two outs. |

I would say if you have AA and flop comes JJ2 would be a better example. [/ QUOTE ] Especially if the deuce is a different suit from either of the jacks. |

If you hold top set on a monotone flop, you are roughly 2:1 to make a boat by the river, while will be the nuts barring quads. WA/WB situations typically refer to two out situations, e.g., dominated pairs on a drawless flop. |

With top set on a suited flop, you have many outs to beat a flush, and a flush draw has many outs against you. A better example is AA on a 772r flop. If you are ahead, your opponent has only two outs. If you are behind, you have only two outs. |

Re: wa/wb
I would put it like this: you're either ahead and your opponent has very few outs to beat you or behind and have very few outs to improve.
Example: You raise with AQ and a tight and aggressive player 3-bets you. You just call. The flop comes A72r. You think your opponent has AA-TT or AK. That is, your way ahead vs. KK-TT and way behind AA, AK. This is how I see it. I'm a bit of a noob myself though. |
