No re-entry either.

Freeze-out tourneys are an endangered species these days. Sad but true.

But you couldn't come back and post for the rest of the forum? Especially seeing as you knew Kirst10c was wondering as well.

STRADDLE is another bet before the PF betting is made and is twice the BB and is made by the UTG player prior to them looking at their cards(usually before hand is dealt when blinds are posted. In addition, the UTG+1 player can make another min-raise and straddle the original straddler. And so on and so on.

I've also heard of poker rooms starting the stalling w/the BUTTON. Can anyone confirm or bust this? And would it then move counter-clockwise w/each consecutive straddler?

STRADDLING, not stalling in the previous post, my mistake.

Hello,

Great thread! lots of good learning... When playing in some cash games and someone moves all in, I'm given the option to "Cash Out". Wondering if someone can shed some light.

Hahahha, Thaw was awesome.

Here are some few - not exact poker related, but can be utilized.

FIDO - F**k It, Drive On. (help me move past the tilt, or make a hero call)
FOCUS - F**k Off Cause U Stupid (Helps me re-focus after making a donkey play)

Without going through all the pages, UTG is defined correctly but it stands for "Under The Gun".

I still struggle to understand some abbreviation and some terms during studying

A useful topic, a lot of interesting things for teaching, well done dude you will understand the terms.
