I am so happy to see someone that can not be afraid to ask questions! I was on this site for 8 weeks, before I finally found out how to post a thread! Everyone is so helpful. You can ask any question in the world, and get the true answer, except one. "what cards are you holding"

This is from “Poker Room Etiquette” post from the Towering Texan

I thought that certain players were being a little mean with their ‘ul’ (which I thought they were saying ‘You Lose’). I found out that I was wrong. After I studied the terms below I saw that they were just nice people just saying ‘ul’ (unlucky).


From Towering Texan:
On the tables if you have chat capabilities it is completely appropriate to congratulate a player on a well played hand (wp) or a skillfull play; a good bet (wd); a nice win (nh, n1, gh); and excellent hand (vnh, v vnh); and most importantly attending the game when the player exits (gg).

It's just as important to be a good sport ab out it all as it is to play, so have fun and enjoy.

Here is a brief list of the terms that are regularly used on the tables:

bbl Be back later.
bf- boyfriend...
brb: be right back
