I tried searching for help on ROI but no luck... what is ROI% and is there a place I can learn more about it and the rest of the lingo used here?

thanks and sorry for the newbie question

there should be a link for abbreviations on your left

ROI is return on investment - its usually used by sit and go tournament players as a means to measure there performance - ie if they play 100 $50+$5 sit and gos and win $550 their ROI would be 10% - it is most commonly used in the single table tournament forum

Speaking of abbreviations (I just viewed the 2+2 list of them), does anyone have a list of abbreviations used on PokerTracker?
