Glossery
Is there an onling glossery of some of the terms used by the here and other places? For instance, I know what BB, SB, ITM and a bunch of the others mean, but there are quite a few (ROI, VPIP and such) that, while I have an idea of what they are, I'm not real sure and it would be a big help to know exactly what each stood for.
So I was thinking ... rather than ask 247 seperate "what does that mean" questions it would be nice if there was a glossery somewhere online that explained these terms. Thanks in advance for any help. Dean

Re: Glossery
welcome to the forum Dean,
beginner FAQ by SheridanCat abbreviations list In the future, do yourself a favour and read through the forum a wee bit as often the info you seek is staring you in the face. I actually got the links I posted for you from a post titled "glossary" that was approx 10 posts below yours. It is amazing how the same questions get asked on a regular basis (hey we've all do it). Also the search function is very helpful on getting info you seek, although I use google for my 2+2 post searches. Cheers, the Real Macoy

Re: Glossery
I DID read both those. I'm looking for something with a little deaper explination than is given in those links.
For instance (to use one I already know): UTG Under the gun. When I first started reading this forum (and others) I would have liked so see: UTG Under the gun. In any hand the first player to the left of the big blind therefore the first to bet pre-flop. Something like that.

Re: Glossery
Dean,
If those links aren't clear enough I would suggest two things: first, get yourself some poker books and start educating yourself (e.g., for beginners Ed Miller has a brand new book on HE, next read SSHE and finally TOP.....once you hanve done this you will be a completley different player.....since you have read the beginners FAQ i can use the short-handed titles) and second, google forum/internet abbreviations as I know a lot of the short-hand you see is internet related....that is what I did....there are literally thousands of glossaries at your disposal). Finally, if you actually put the necessary info in your posted questions I am sure the answers you get WILL suit your needs a lot more (nobody reads minds here, although some of the Pooh-Bahs seem to be able to at the table). Happy info searching, the Real Macoy
