in the chat box what does 'ul' mean?

unlucky or you lose?

traditionally the former

some idiot in the chat box seems to think otherwise. i was thinking, have i been saying it all this time meaning something else!!!

silly yank  >:?

Had a conversation with an american last night about this very thing. He had a nut flush and after slow playing it, his opponent moved in on the river, he called immediately obv with the nuts and proceeded to type in 'thank you.' I hate that, so I typed in 'nh, but no need to disrespect other player's moves'. He proceeded to grow angry at the thought his comments were rude and that it is only a part of the game. A little later, I sucked out on a guy and typed in 'ul mate'. He then berated me saying unlucky mate was the same as thank you.

Any one agree with him? I am curious

The most irritating thing you can say in the chatbox is "sorry" after you have made a fkin awful call and hit your miracle.

you are NOT sorry, you called because you wanted to win the fkin hand !!!! so why rub it in and say sorry when you do.

UL is fine in my mind .... but I really really hate "sorry"

Pauls the same , hates people saying "sorry " he's pet hate

I agree, I don't like sorry.  I don't really like nice hand if it's not a nice hand either.  Nice flushes aren't nice hands, Royal flushes and quads are nice hands imo, and even then the person has to be using both cards that he holds and not 4 from the board, although I may say well played if they played it well.

I don't say unlucky either as it doesn't help I don't think.  Certainly wouldn't dream of saying thank you to someone that paid me off.

I hate chat boxes. I try to never use them and on VC/Blonde etc, I just turn them off. 

You really want to rub somebody down a treat type in

"nh ul gg"

all at the same time.  :)up


It's a big world, lots of different types in it. The best thing to type if you don't want to upset people is probably absolutely nothing. Especially when you win a pot, the loser may choose to get himself worked up at anything.

We should all please ourselves though, I know of nobody who ever got a chat ban for typing "ul" so keep doing it.

I always say 'sorry', 'ul', and 'only online'.  It really winds people up.

Although the biggest wind up is the 'ty' before anyone has said 'nh' or 'wp' or anything.  That really does get on people's nerves, used to annoy me a little.  Now it just makes me laugh.

Much better is:

ah!  This misunderstanding might explain a comment I got the other day.  I get AK in the BB and shorty moves all in UTG with A5 and doesn't hit.  I usually wouldn't say anything at this point, but he commented 'nice hand to have in the bb' so I politely replied 'ty ul'.   He then said - 'i know i lost, but thanks for the update' which had me a bit befuddled (what a nice word).  I think in future I'll type unlucky in full.

Never heard it refered to as You Lose..

Instead of that next time, for the ultiamte rubdown, give him an anagram with too many letters.  :)up

run yulck

I don't do rubdowns - I'm always nice and polite  ;angel; 

erm a rubdown would be nice

Yes you do, back in the hotel after BB3............

oops  :-X

 :o ;ashamed;

my word me and the big boy agree on something. I hate it so much I have put it in my laddies profile

yeah Kev always tells me off for saying sorry!  Can't help myself - too well mannered!  I appreciate it when it's said to me too.

I would never say sorry as I hate it myself lol. If I have played it bad and outdrawn particularly nastily I may say 'ouch ul', but that's as much as they're getting from me.

"ouch you loser"?! that's not nice!!!

LMAO!  rotflmfao

I never thought it may be seen as that!.I may have to outdraw more often, very funny!

An annoying one happened to me recently, was on a final table and some moron was saying he was there because he had "Tribeca tracker" which told him what the flop was going to be (uh huh). anyway it was funny at first but then got REALLY irritating. He moved in on me at one point with J7 and i called with AK.
Before the flop came he typed in "Tracker, UL" and sure enough spiked a 7. I was fuming !!
Took him out in the end though which was v satisfying !

pwned!  ;)

I try to avoid chat now, but once in a moment of pique I typed 'ffs' after some particularly ridiculous play caught lucky.

I regretted it as soon as I wrote it, and when the colonial opponent piped up in the chatbox to ask what ffs meant, I told him it was Scottish for 'nh'. 'Oh, thanks' he replied.  :D
