Default Couple of BASIC questions

1. What do you call each time your dealt a pair of hole cards? I think "hand" refers to a pair you actually play. The reason why I'm asking is b/c I am creating a spreadsheet and on it I am including a column to track how many "hands" are dealt between hands that I play.

2. What are the nine positions called? I have:

Button
SB
BB
UTG
UTG+1
MP1
MP2
MP3
CO

Is this correct?

Each time that you receive two cards from the dealer you have a "hand" (regardless of whether you choose to play it or fold it).

This is correct. And if there are ten players seated at the table then you can add "UTG+2" to your list.

I think the OP was using the term pair to refer to "two" as in a hold 'em hand rather than a pocket pair. Poor word choice.

Also, OP is trying to determine his VPIP. You don't need a spreadsheet, just poker tracker.

A hand.

Then whether or not you play it determines your VPIP (voluntairy put $ in pot).
