Default First Time Aussie poster with forum lingo question

Greetings All,

I am a SSHE player known to frequent the Crown Casino in Melbourne Australia. I do ok following the basic advise in WLLH but I have more advanced study material "in the mail."

I have been studying the information on these excellent forum board for a few days now and at the same time fomulating a few questions to post.

Right now I am stuck with a little short hand terminology used on the forum. To wit can someone advise the meaning of these terms/acromyns, they don't seem to figure in the poker language at this time in Australia. We seem to be a year or two behind the USA in all things poker. (Hint, hint... ;-)

So what's the deal with:

LAG
LPP
LA-N (post flop?)

I'm tipping that the "L" is for "LOOSE" but go ahead, surprise me.

Also what does "CO" mean in relation to position?

Is there a reference somewhere that I overlooked?

Thanks for any assistance. I look forward to being ablt to understand what I'm reading. ;-)

-Jim

L=Loose
A=Aggressive; Loose + Aggressive is LAG
P=Passive
N-Neutral

The first letter refers to how many hands a person plays preflop (Loose or Tight)

The middle refers to how often they raise preflop

The last is usually referring to Overall aggression (how often they bet/raise vs check/call) as determined by PokerTracker

CO= Cutoff; the seat to the right of the button

The best advise is to learn the search function. When you input words to search for use the + - feature.

I found the above link by inputting +acronym -"re:" and searching the entire Texas Hold'em folder for the past three years. It defaults to one week.

I'm new to the system, but I've already noticed the term 'donk' all over the forums, used as both noun and adjective. I kind of got the sense of what it means, but I'm looking for the "official" definition...

A "donkbet" or "gaybet" is when someone bets into the last aggressor, especially if the bet is assumed to represent weakness.
