ESPN's describing position during 50K Players Championship



I always assumed any discussion of position in NLH was in reference to post-flop position and as such have never heard of the SB and BB referenced as late position.

ESPN has such a huge generic audience, that I think this may have confused a lot of casual players. I'm surprised this wasn't caught and changed by the their poker experts in the editing process.

Also enjoyed posting a graphic showing the Yankees losing.

As long as they widen their range in "Late Position" do you mind?

The fact that the BTN is D"ealer button" and not BTN tilted me while watching that.

That and the cutoff being labeled CUT instead of CO tilted me.

I've been playing poker 14 years now and don't recall ever hearing the word hijack used in poker. Is that common a term? Raised from the Hijack?
