FE is short for fold equity. It is the equity gained based on the likelihood that a villain will fold to a bet.

I would have guessed at "iffy", meaning questionable, but "F.E." for fold equity seems reasonable too. It depends on context, obviously.

People are so lazy these days that they have to abbreviate "fold equity" in verbal speech? Goodness gracious, what is the world coming to
