One of the posters here whose name is The Grunch. He recommended that people read a hand that someone posted, and without looking at responses, post their opinion of what they should've done. If you do this, you would commonly type "grunch" at the top.

What is SIIHP? I know all of the others, but this one continues to elude me. It seems to be some sort of insult; it gets used a lot with YSSCKY.

Monthly Gross Revenue. The money that the site made off of that player for the month. Different sites calculate it different ways. One common way is to take the amount of rake collected on a given hand and divide it by the number of players who were dealt cards that hand. That amount of rake is attributed to each player. If you add up your share of the rake for every single hand you played for the month, you will get your MGR. If you've received any bonuses that month, most sites will subtract that amount from your contributed rake to determine your MGR. Some sites (Absolute, for example) do not subtract bonuses from your MGR. MGR discussions usually relate to rakeback. If you get 25% rakeback, you are really getting back 25% of your MGR.
