[Barny]

I've been tweeting a kind of Smiley Culture 'Cockney Translator' stylee guide to New Skool poker speak to help out the Silver Punters.
Here are the first dozen. Let's have yours.



1. New Skool: I had backdoors, and could take him off air on the turn.
Old Skool: I'm a calling station.

2.New skool: I decided to float.
Old Skool: Yep, I just love to call.

3. New Skool: Merge your range.
Old Skool: Cross your fingers and bet.

4. New Skool: I'll wait for a better spot.
Old Skool: My bottle's gone.

5. New Skool:I called due to metagame considerations.
Old Skool: I called with the needle.

6.New Skool: I adjusted to the table dynamic.
Old Skool: I went on tilt.

7.New Skool: I'm plus ev vs his range.
Old skool: I can't actually put him on a hand.

8. New Skool: I levelled him.
Old Skool: I stopped trying to work out what he wanted me to think, and just bet basically.

9. New Skool: His range was polerised. So it was a good call.
Old Skool: I had no idea if I was winning. So I made a bad call.

10. New Skool: You are being results orientated about my play.
Old Skool: I'm a bad looser.

11. New Skool: He is a genius.
Old Skool: He is a under thirty.

12. New Skool: We were levelling each other pre.
Old Skool: We were both too arrogant to back down.

New Skool: I wasn't priced in
Old Skool: Way too much in there to fold

Old Skool: Stack's looking a bit short, time to rock up and wait for a big hand
