[stormswa]

MEH do we have to add stormswa in definition of SWA?

stormswa had nothing to do with all that.

[Invigilator]

This is true. It was just an identification of the origin, and that it is you. The connection to the current you, can be edited out, unless people think it is critical.

EDIT: granted, the entire meaning derives from the context of the story, and would be lost without a connection to it's origin. I don't want it to become bio-like in any event.

[stormswa]

thanks I appriciate it I just dont want people associating idiot Brianswa with current stormswa. Even though I still periodicly forum tilt im no where close to how I used to be.

[Invigilator]

That is the primary difficulty in defining the word without going into the history.

[Talking Poker]

Funny... I always thought the Q in QFT stoof for "quite."

Additions (off the top of my head):
TP - Top PAir
TPTK - Top Pair Top Kicker
SB - Small Blind
BB - Big Blind
ptBB (Poker Tracker Big Blind (I think))
BVB - Blind vs. Blind
OTB - On the Button
CO - Cut Off
UTG - Under the Gun
CR - Check Raise
CRAI - Check raise all in
TID - Take it Down (missing the TID part in your doc)

I'm sure there is more. Hopefully other people will contribute.

I am not familiar with this one, even though I use pt.

[Talking Poker]

It has to do with the way PT (used to?) calculate BB/100. I want to say it used to count this as BB = BIG BET (which is double BB = Big Blind), so people started using ptBB to differentiate.

I know melioris was solid on this and how it worked.

TP, I am going to work on the formatting and spacing and such over the next 2 days. What format do you want the final copy in?

[Talking Poker]

Whatever you think will look best posted in the forum....?

KYS - Kill Yourself
KMS - Kill Myself
WA/WB - Way Ahead/Way Behind

[Invigilator]

WA/WB are added. I have never encountered KYS or KMS on this forum. Are they common enough to include? I wanted to be careful about putting too much in the general online terms, so I have been trying to limit to ones I encoutner on this forum.

[melioris]

thanks for the reminder INV, I saw TPs post and meant to respond but then forgot. And I had to laugh as his lazy ass knows this as well as I do but for some reason he just passed the buck (taking the same amount of time as he would have just to answer the question). ok, so the difference between BB/100 and ptBB/100 is pretty simple.

BB/100 is big blinnds per 100 hands
ptbb/100 is big bets per 100 hands or 2 times the big blind per 100 hands.

PT was designed by limit players and therefore when they calculated the bb/100 number, they used big bets (the turn and river bets in a limit game). I think it is corrected in PT3 and HM to be big blinds/100 but it doesn't really matter. bb/100 is a live game measure IMO and for online I prefer $/hour or buyins/hr as a more informative measure of winrate as it then corrects for multitabling.

I THOUGHT I knew that, but I wasn't sure. Passing the buck from my lazy ass to yours was the best solution.
