Default Terminology

There're some words/expressions that are unclear and I cannot find their meaning:

coordinated board
ABC poker
gnoming
isolate
mixed game (as in "$400-$800 mixed games at The Bellagio")

Some of them, like ABC poker, I'm asking just to be sure there's no "hidden" meaning

Here's a couple:


http://poker.wikicities.com/wiki/LHE:Flop:Texture (coordinated flop is part of a coord. board)

http://poker.wikicities.com/wiki/Mixed_game

I'll try to add the rest as I have time.

ABC poker - playing straightforward, non-tricky poker, i.e. betting/raising when you have a good hand and checking/folding when you don't. Example: The rock in seat 3 was an ABC player so when he raised I knew I was beat.

Isolate - to raise or re-raise a player on your right, hoping the rest of the field will fold, leaving it heads-up.

Gnoming: The practice of getting multiple accounts with the same site using the names of family, friends and pets so you can get reload bonuses multiple times. Don't do this.

"wa/wb" ?

Way Ahead / Way Behind - like being in the big blind with A4 and a ragged board with an Ace flops. You're probably either way ahead because your opponent doesn't have an Ace or way behind because he does with a better kicker.

"Redraw" (as used in SSHE)? Sometimes it seems it's an additional draw you have (as in runner-runner flash draw) sometimes it seems it's a draw your opponent may have.. The glossary in the book is silent.
