Monday October 5, 2009

If you're just starting to play poker online or in casinos, you may encounter a listing like this: Sat, 7 PM, NLHE, $40+10, $20 RB first hour, $20 AO. While the first part is easy -- something is happening at 7 PM on Saturday -- the rest may look like alphabet soup. To figure out this and other listings, check out this list of commonly used poker acronyms and abbreviations. It's a good reference that should make it easy to decipher the code.

Hi my name is Pat; I found a new site that pays big for recruiting players. I’m not an affiliate, just a player looking to make some extra cash. I definitely recommend this site if you’re looking to have fun and make extra cash. If you are currently playing with another site, the least you can do is check it out.
