Glossary for the people

My mother (and others) have mentioned they don't understand all the poker terms... so here's a brief glossary:

SNG: sit and go. it's a tournament that starts as soon as the required numnber of players register for it. There are nine person SNGs on many sites alll the time. It's sort of an on-demand mini-tournament.

NL HE: no limit texas hold em, where a bet can be any amount.

L HE: Limit texas hold em, where there is a prescribed amount for each bet.

Shorthanded (SH): a game where there are six or less people playing.

5/10: the amounts of the bets. So, in a limit game, each bet and raise must be $5 before the flop and on the flop, and must be $10 on the turn and river.

High / Low: A game where players are trying to make both the best and worst hands, and each is worth half of the pot.

Draw: A hand where you need to improve to win. i.e., I was drawing to my flush.

Runner runner: a hand where someone needs both the turn and the river to go correctly for them to win. example: "I flopped three nines, but he went runner runner to make a flush and beat me. "

PT: Poker tracker, software used to create statistics on me and my opponents.

BB/100: Big bets per hundred hands. a measurement. Big bets is the bigger bet in the game (in 5/10, it would be 10), and how many of those I am winning or losing per 100 hands played. so 1.3 BB/100 hands means I am winning $13 / per hundred hands played.

BR: Bankroll.

WSOP: World series of poker.

Set: three of a kind

top pair, top kicker: when you have the highest pair on the board and the best possible kicker card: example: The flop was K 10 4, and I had and AK in my hand, so I had a pair of kings with an ace kciker , or top pair top kicker.

Nut flush draw: When you are drawing to the best possible flush.
