There are so many 2+2 specific acronyms that we may need to make a new list.

Wikipedia has a decent list of poker terms (not acronyms) here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_poker_terms

Among the topics that need to be covered:

1. Bankroll and variance: Suggest linking appropriate pzhon and BruceZ posts such as

Derivation of the bankroll equation

Also link an online bankroll calculator and a results simulator. Here are some examples:

2. Software: Some basic info on PT and related programs. Link to hand equity calculators. Include a reference to the software forum, where new stuff is getting cooked up all the time.

3. Books/DVDs: not sure if this topic would be allowed since it could be interpreted as an endorsement by 2+2.

4. Odds: Link to a good odds chart. I recommend Lostwages' chart, which is here
