lol just reminded me of a mate that i invited to one of my poker games once. he knows how to play poker he would good enough that he only lost his money slowly.

but what was really funny was that the next day he came up to me and said it was a great night, he really enjoyed it, but he had absolutely no idea what we were talking about 99% of the time :P

he would just sit there with a blank look on his face it was pretty funny

to be honest, i know all of those abbreviations anyway. if you spend more than 5 minutes on 2+2 you HAVE to know them or else you have no idea whats going on

Probably looking at including some of the ones used on here as well Aaron.

There'll always be something else to add, FSJ for example.

bennyjam - a player who raises preflop with a strong unpaired hand, c-bets on a rag flop and when a player tank/calls, thinks this is a sign of weakness and put the rest of their stack in on the turn, even though the turn completes both straight and flush draws.

tank - taking a very long time to make a decision

caplb- cut and paste like benny the cunt.

Mongo- an alternate word for donkey.
Used pretty much exclusivley in the riverland and should have a life ban associated to its use.
As most players that use above mentioned word acutally are indeed formost exponents of said word.
Does anyone know how to make money playing uno vs 6 year olds, its about the only card game i get to play these days.

as little as a week and a bit ago final table Krunchie was mongoed by an unthinking player playing 72o who snaked a deuce on the river to make 2 pair thus taking Krunchie out who was dominating the hand till the river.

such is life
