While playing poker on the Internet, you will often come across abbreviations in chat that players use in communication with each other, but which are incomprehensible at first glance. Especially considering the fact that most of the players on the Internet are from the English-speaking segment, therefore these abbreviations come from the English language. In this article, we will look at the most popular short lines that players exchange during the course of the hand.

LOL is an expression that means loud laughter. Most often applied to funny situations in the hands, for example, when a person wins a pair of aces with 7-2 offsuit.

TY - the same as thank you, thx, 10x, in a word, in Russian this is a banal “thank you”.

GH - in English sounds like good hand, that is, "good hand". Most often it is used in cases where the player managed to collect a really good combination, for example, four of a kind or a straight flush.

VNH - “very nice hand”, or speaking in Russian, a very good hand. By and large, it means the same as the previous replica.

GG - "good game", "good game". It is used to praise the player who was able to play well the cards he had and win the hand. Sometimes players use this phrase before leaving the table to thank their opponents for a good game.

ROFL - Laughter until you lose your pulse.

ZZZZZ - a call to wake up from sleep. It is used for those players who think too long before making a bet or calling an opponent's raise. By the way, more often than not, such players simply play at several tables at the same time, so they do not always have time to follow each of them.

NP - “no problem”, no problem, no problem.

YW - “you are welcome” or, translated into Russian, “welcome”. Most often applied to a new player who has just sat down at the table. Sometimes it is used instead of the traditional "please" in Russian.

GL - “good luck”, just a friendly wish of good luck to your opponent.

BRB - “be right back”, “I'll be back in a second”. Used by a player who is forced to leave the game for a few minutes, for example, when you need to leave to make tea or just go to the toilet.

BS - "bullshit", "complete nonsense". It can be used for any incomprehensible and non-standard situations in the game, for example, when those cards that supposedly should have won the hand lose it.

FU - “f * ck you”, in the mildest translation it sounds like “Fuck you”.

WTF - "what the f * ck", "what's going on?"

WP - “well played”, or, in Russian, well played. Most often it is written as a sign of approval for those players who played their cards well in this hand.

GTG - “got to go”, “I have to go”. Used when a player needs to leave the table, and he warns his opponents about it.

CYA - see you next time.
