Well if you want to get technical.Your paragraphs are incorrect. You could also use a D0UCHEBAG for cleaning your rims on your car if you really wanted too. But that still doesnt take away its original product intent, and patented features. So you've failed to correct anything in my previous post, other than the spelling of a short balding actor.

(I know Cobalt knows what these are)I think we assume that people know those since they're more general poker terms and pretty well-known outside of the site. The purpose of this glossary is mostly to list the "inside" jokes and acronyms. Link to post Share on other sites

1sickpuppyx 0 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Thanks for the list - I'm glad I got most of them right on my own. I'll admit that I was afraid to use many of them in case I guessed wrong.Can anyone tell me what "EV" is, as in "+EV"? That one has me scratching my head, which most likely means it is not hard to figure out, but I'm just not seeing it.+1 would also be a good addition, though easier to figure out.
