Poker Lingo

Hey Everyone,

Most of you might know me that well... am from Mexico, and this is a good way for me to practice my English...

But it seems to get a little more confusing for me at the tables, with this POKER LINGO... I just don't understand a few of the poker terms you guys throw out at the table.

it's almost as Poker is becoming it's own language...

Please post some of your favorite Poker Lingo... and what it means...

I will appreciated ;-)

Donkey - Someone not good or playing foolishly in poker
FT - Final Table
HU - Heads-Up (One on one the last 2 in a tournament)
IMHO - In My Honest Opinion
ITM - In The Money ( if you are ITM you have already placed in a tourney and you are expected to win $$$ even if you bust out)

I hope this helps I'll add some more later

Thanks guys... this helps... specially you Stick66... that link was good...

Liza, you could also post some of the terms that you don't understand and we can help you that way too. Sometimes knowing the name of something isn't enough...

some more nice ones

NH = nice hand (means damm you sucked out again)
GG = good game(means good riddance, happy to see you go)
UL = unlucky(means phew i sucked out on you)
sorry(means at last i got you )
