I don't think anyone actually knows what they mean. They just evolved as FTR speak.

teh = the (I think?)

meh = whatever

Okay, I've seen this in a couple hand histories, and I assume it has do to with PokerTracker but I'm not getting it.

"The villain in this hand is 27/5, so I know he isn't a complete donk."

What does the 27/5 mean? 27 folds preflop vs 5 postflop or something?

thanks

Thanks Salt3d!

Here's my contribution to the learning curve.

General Acronyms
ITM: In the Money
OTM: Out of the Money
ROI: Return on Investment
HH: Hand History
H/Hr: hands per hour played (average) at a table

PokerTracker or Statistical
VP$IP or VP%IP or VP$IP$: Voluntarily put $$ in Pot (%)
a basic way to measure "rockiness"

WtSD: Went to Show Down (percentage)
a basic way to measure "calling station" nature

W$SD: Won $$ at Show Down (percentage)
Where you want to be with your non-bluffs Smile

CR: Check-Raise (as the betting tactic)
I've seen this listed as simple +/- and as percentage

AF: Aggression Factor
I don't know how this is calculated, It's a ratio, I think it's a meta-statistic

PFA: Post-Flop Aggression
Don't know how this one works either

I don't think this one is already in the list

C-bet, cbet, continuation bet

A bet made from early position, not to push players out of the pot in itself, but to continue to establish a strong position or image. Big enough to get information if someone else re-raises you, but not so big as to really hurt your stack if you get smacked.

Note: not the same thing as a value bet, where you're trying to extract money on a dominant made hand.

Usage might be something like:
"The turn came a rag, so I thought my set was still good, so I made a c-bet to see what would happen."

The number is the max buy in for the ring game, and the big blind is typically 1/100th of the buy in.

e.g. 25nl = .10/.25 nl
100nl = .50/1.00 nl

If we're both thinking of the same float then thats what you call it when players call suspected continuation bets on the flop in the hopes that the bettor will give up his unimproved AK and check to them on the turn. Then they can bet and hopefully take the pot away from the preflop aggressor. They are floating over the other guys flop bet looking for an oppertunity to take the pot.

Sound about right?

bump

I think you are referring to a probe bet.

A c-bet is just referred to a flop bet made by the preflop raiser (or more specifically, the last person to make a raise preflop), especially when they missed the flop.

ie. I raised in MP with AK, BN and BB call. Flop comes rags and there's one check to me, so I c-bet representing a high pocket pair.

Calling a bet in order to take a pot down later. Think of it kind of as like a bluff slowplay or a bluff call.

You need a definition for fold equity, here is mine:

The value you get from the times your opponent(s) folds
Fold Equity = (% of the time your opponent folds) * (the amount of money you win when he folds ie pot size)
