For the last time,

a PVS is a push into several limpers with TRASH CARDS. Not AJo!

I understand what you are saying the meaning is but what does it stand for? Push Versus Sucking?

Nah, it's named after Phil, cause of that post he made. Someone linked to it already.

Phoenix said he invented it, but likes the name PVS, so that's what I go with.

Phoenix plays the $20's or lower, there's no way he invented this.

yeah, I am clueless too on this acronym and plenty of others here since I am newb to the 2+2 community; is there a list somewhere to reference (PVS is not in the abbreviations link on this site)

He may play the $20s, but thats no indication of his skill level. Kid has mad game.

Excuse me for this essay, I "invented" this play and felt that I should share my thoughts on it.

It's kinda like when hot chicks come over to my house. I don't care where they come from, I'm just glad they're there.

ah - I found the link and I get it - PVS is the initials of a 2+2'er who made a push with trash and flopped a str8

the learning curve is steep, but I will catch up to you all soon

SnG's have been around over 3 years. Anyone playing in the $20's today didn't invent dick for plays.

I was watching last years WSOP last night, and Harrington did pull a real live PVS at the final table. Well, I can't remember if it was raised or the players limped, but Harrington pushed with the likes of 64o after 2 players entered the pot.

Although, it was mentioned by another poster on these forums that this play is fairly common at high buyin tournaments.
