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
