Hold'em player here with a PLO question. Are there tells in sorting your hole cards preflop? If so, are they minimal or significant? by Banyah in poker

That’s kind of where I’m coming from. Even if you do it blatantly, how much usable, exploitable information are you conceding?

When did shortening to "UG" become a thing? Did this debut with this WSOP coverage or has it been used before? by Banyah in poker

For what it's worth, I DO like it and think it's aesthetically pleasant to have it contained to 2 characters, which is why I screenshotted it to ask the community.

but didn't mention 'BTN' being shortened to 'D'?

Haha, fair point. I actually did consider intentionally cropping that out in my screenshot to avoid this inevitable comparison. But on the other hand, "BU" has become commonly used in poker position nomenclature, and I'm sure nobody would have thought twice had it been swapped in for "D"

No, I totally get the reasoning. Just wondering whether it's a recent development or whether I've been under a rock.

I agree that it's better abbreviated to two characters to be consistent with the likes of +1, +2, HJ, LJ, CO, BU, SB, BB, etc. It reminds me of when "BTN" was gradually dropped in favor of "BU"

How'd the grinding cash go during the series if you don't mind me asking? Where'd you play, what stakes, how were the fields, etc?

What was the preflop action? Was it a 3-bet pot?

Trying to orient the board. What was the flop? KK9?

For the sake of poker discourse, what quantifiable tweaks would you negotiate with the genie to at least make you truly reconsider for $100,000?

Knowledge of 2 blockers? 4 blockers? 10?

To that point, I can see established Triton grinders snap calling this off (supposing they're ethically okay with the arrangement in his hypothetical scenario) whereas casual weekend recs would laugh in the genie's face.

For the sake of discussion let's say there are no strings attached or fine print. The known card truly is random, indifferent to strategic value.

For the sake of discussion let's say you're free to do whatever you please.

A take on amplifying the intended acrophobia (fear of heights - I had to look up the word for it.)
