hoosnigs?

i say "hoosnigs" phonetically because i got tired of saying "heads up ess-en-gees" all the time. chiry claims the "u" is long so it should be hyoosnigs. anyone else have a well formed opinion for this high level discussion?

I was just trying to pronounce this as you did, I don't have a way of pronouncing HU SNGs to other people, I just say the words out as they are.

Also, add "low content."

Isn't it just as easy to say "Heads up sit 'n' gos" as "Heads up ess-en-gees"? Verbal abbreviation is a bit pointless when it's the same number of syllables.

I guess "hoosnigs" is good if people actually know what you're talking about. But try mentioning this at a live NL 1/2 table and see what happens.

That's Phil Galfond in the avatars:
