[Closed] Please avoid using abbreviations initially

Hello!

These two links will help you with the abbreviations:

Common abbreviations
Glossary

The first link is the link to the thread with common abbreviations (stickied in General discussion) and the second link leads to the glossary in the strategy section which can give you detailed explanation for the commonly used poker words/phrases.

Best regards,

Primzi

Don't think that we should avoid using abr. You should just learn their meaning. Don't worry that you don't understand all that you read at first. Read more articles, use glossary - http://www.pokerstrategy.com/glossary/ and you will get in touch with poker very quickly.

Ah, brilliant. I was looking for a glossary

It can be a bit confusing when you start out, but don't worry, you will get to know the abbreviations.
Defiantly follow Primzi tips and there is a solution: just ask We are happy to explain if anything is unclear.

Hijack is pretty common terminology. Especially among the American players

I've only recently heard the phrase, but it does seem to be becoming more and more widespread. Thanks for the clarification guys.

I'm assuming it is referring to MP3 hijacking the potential steal opportunity of the CO & BU, right? or have I got this all wrong?

All good stuff,

Bart

Interestingly enough the guy who named the hijack seat believes there are only 6 positions at a full ring table:

BB, SB, BU, CO, HJ, EP, EP, EP, EP

Also, the term donkey lead to the creation of the term donk bet: A player who bets out the next street without having initiative. Thus, donks make donk bets.

I think you are spot on.

I've heard it a little before, but when i was at the WSOP this year, pretty much everyone called the seat before CO the Hijack. All the pokernews reporters used HJ and ESPN also uses HJ in their videos.
