Tourney Tournament Nomenclature (1 Viewer)

Hi, all.

As a newbie, I've seen several posts that use short hand for describing tournament chips. I would think there is already a thread somewhere detailing how to translate these short hands. Could someone point me in the right direction so I can educate myself?

Thanks!

Out of curiosity, what terms in particular are you wondering about?

He has heard the term Scrub Donkey an awful lot around here lately.

Thank you! Very helpful...I picked up a few explanations there, for example, difference between a rack and a barrel. What is "flashing" on a chip? I assume it's sharp edges...? Am I off?

I also am wondering when people describe tournament chips, they put a Capital T in front of it...What does that mean?

Thanks in advance!

P.S. BS, being a poor poker player myself, I'm quite familiar with the term Donkey...although, Scrub Donkey? I assume it can't be good...

Flashing is excess material from injected molded plastic. Not really a tournament thing but low quality plastic anything (including poker chips) can have this

And T25 instead of $25 because the chip is worth 25 tournament currency units. Not 25 dollars

This thread is entertaining, if not informative.

^^ This. The capital T is also used to describe stack sizes (T10000 in total starting chip units, for example) or bet sizes ("he raised to T1400") in addition to a chip's specific denomination.
