Not really. Not that I can see anyway.
There are bits 'n' pieces of this all over the place, but nothing in the Beginners Circle (where arguably it is needed most!). FyrFytr's post covers a glossary of terms, but not really the abbreviations used daily in the posts on FTR. Humph's sticky only really covers the table/positional ones.
Just trying to save the peeps some time and effort!
I've thought of a couple more as well
FT = Final Table
ahhh .... the promised land
HU = Heads-Up
TPGK = Top Pair, Good Kicker |

roffle roffle. I just read this. That was fun.
Thanks for putting this together, Staresy. Eventually, we need to consolidate all of our glossary of terms into one Sticky topic.
For now, I've made this Sticky. (Wow.. there are a lot of Stickies in here.) |

Here's a few more:
MHIG = My Hand is Good
VPIP% = Voluntary Put in the Pot %
Dwarfie= A young, british poker player that makes liberal use of stacked phone books to reach the table.
x BB/100 = winrate expressed as Big Bets per 100 hands played
STFU = Shut The F*** Up = not an expression usually found in FTR posts (we're too nice to each other to use terms like this), but certainly one you might come across in the chat box of your favourite poker site |

I have heard of people referring to a HOH chart. Is this something Santa brings you for Christmas and if yes, has anyone noticed the typo?
But seriously, what is a HOH chart? |

On the pot odds chart...What does "Two Overs" mean?..How could you have 18 outs also? Silly questions I'm sure. I'm very new to this stuff, but I will learn what I can before depositing anymore money into my account (Down $150).
Thanks,
SwanDawg |

two overs means two over cards and its easy to have 18 or more outs for example:
your cards: As Ks
his cards: 2c 2h
Board: Ts 9s Jc
here you have 18 outs...9 spades, 3 queens (one is counted in the spades category), 3 kings and 3 aces= 9+3+3+3=18 outs

donk is short for donkey, meaning not smart.
Pretty context sensitive, but if the board is 789T4 with three clubs and you hold 77 and bet, it's a donk bet. |

betting for value = you think you have the best hand and want opp to put more money in the pot.
as opposed to:
betting for info = you think you MAY have the best hand, but looking to opp's reaction to your bet to get more info
bluffing - you don't think you have the best hand, but hoping opp will fold to your bet
semi bluffing - you probably don't have the best hand right now, hoping opp will fold, but if he calls you may end up making the best hand.
Most basic value bet - board is QJT all hearts, you hold AK hearts - you have the nuts, any bet you make is a value bet. On same board, a bet for info might be if you held QJ. You might semi bluff with just the Kh. If you bet with 7s8s, it's a bluff. |

Not 100% sure but I think its a term Dan Harrington coined to suggest a relationship between the blind level and your present chip stack.
eg.
Your stack is 1500
Blinds are 50/100
50 + 100 = 150
Stack/Tolal blinds = 1500/150 = 10
This is your M (10).
I think thats how it works. |

Actually, i think it's:
betting when you just called on the previous round.
so it's not always stupid. |

In this post, Vrax says regarding fish: 'They also think only about their cards, are not afraid of being dominated and don't know the gap concept.'
The only gap I'm aware of is the one in my head that should be filled by the 'gap concept' in terms of poker. |

Let me try this one - the gap concept describes that to CALL A RAISE requires a hand that's STRONGER than a hand one would OPEN RAISE with in the same position. The difference between the strength of the two hands is the gap.
Say you have AJo in mid position. Everyone folds to you, so you raise. But if UTG raises before you, your AJ is probably no good any more as UTG must have a very strong hand to make this raise. So you fold. |
