    Forum Glossary

    I'm new enough to this forum and am still tryin to get my head round some of the lingo used, so far I've got the following, can you add more terms that are not on the list?

    LP = Late Position
    MP = Mid Position
    EP = Early Position
    ROI = Return on Investment
    OOP = Out of Position
    IP = In Position
    OL= Open Limp
    EV = Expected Value
    DS = Deep Stack
    PF = Pre Flop
    AIPF = All In Pre Flop
    BR = Bank Roll
    BTN = Button
    CO = Cutoff
    H/J = Hijack (CO+2)

    This thread from the old place should help explain most of them.

    I have noticed a lot of TLA's (Three Letter Acronyms - or even 4 or 5) being used in this forum. Some of them are general and some are poker specific.
