HUSH Slang

Luzion · #1 08-17-2005, 01:11 AM

Ok, Ive been reading a good amount HUSH lately. I noticed that sometimes I dont understand what you guys mean when you use some sorta poker slang or some form of acronyms when describing strategy. Can you guys please explain some of the more common slang/acronyms?

Example...
FPS
peel a card? peel one on the flop? etc
donk bet

Im pretty sure when you guys say "donk bet," you guys mean to "gay bet." As in someone bets out of nowhere for no apparent reason. Any other phrases or slang I should know? that may be unique to HUSH?

Thanks for helping me with my noobish question... [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Fancy Play Syndrome

Peel means to call, looking at the next card, folding UI.

Donk bet means to bet the next street after your last action was to call.

FYP: Fix your post

I think these are wrong. You can peel by calling a 3-bet, often done with pocket pairs after you've been raised with an overcard, but you peel because you have odds to hit your 2 outs.

Also the raise preflop/bet flop isnt a donk bet, is usually on the post flop streets, such as check-calling the flop, then betting a 'blank' on the turn. The key feature of a donk bet is the card is a seemingly blank card

Peeling usually refers to the situation where you call only one small bet on the flop closing the action to see the turn card with thin odds.

This isn't exactly true. That can also be a stop-n-go. When you bet, are raised, and smooth-call then bet out the next street, that's a stop-n-go. When you check-call and then bet the next street, that's a donk bet.
