    Default Poker Terms - not in "poker lingo" list

    What do these terms mean? (and I'm sure I'll find others)


    Stack off
    +EV
    UTG

    I didn't find these in the Poker Lingo page.

    +EV - Positive Expected Value (Action will make you money in the long run)

    UTG - Under the Gun (Player first to act preflop)

    Stack off,

    for a villian/hero to commit their all of their chips due to the percieved strength of their hand.

    IE, I had a full house, so I stacked off.

    Or I never thought that idiot would stack off so lightly.
    The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than average. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their mistakes

    Thanks. Are the Villian/Hero considered to be the same person? Or what's the difference?

    Hero - Yourself ( or someone else if reviewing a hand for them)
    Villain(s) - One or more of your opponents
