Abbreviations / Jargon - Help out a newbie (1 Viewer)

[John Zoidberg]

Ahoy,

I found this site a month ago when I started looking at the poker chips options.

I'm loving spending/wasting hours here learning about this stuff, including learning the jargon.

Below are a list of abbreviations and what I think the meaning of each is. The ones in red I am struggling with.

I think I'm correct for most of them, but if there are any I've got wrong (or have a comment to add to provide context), would you mind correcting me?

Cheers

I believe there is a Glossary in the Resources section.

Thanks very much for the response and the photos to illustrate!

The glossary is just what I was looking for; just had to look for it in search bar.
