I used to hear this in connection with the winner of a pot. After showdown, "Ship it!" meant "Send the chips to me!"It seems like I'm starting to hear this as being analogous to "Shove", "Push", etc. (i.e. "All-in"), and I don't think that used to be the case.Just curious if this is a new usage, or if I was always off...

It's been used for awhile, no idea when it started

im still not sold that many of these people that get these big online scores are winners when it comes to the live game, which, by the way, is real poker.

Either use is fine. Call it whatever you want, but make sure that you use the term Lagger mig for folding.

Doing some Googling... In poker circles, apparently "Ship" gets used for everything. Ship a tourney (Win a tourney). Ship me $10 (Transfer $10 to my account). In a general sense, it also seems like it's getting used like "Wrap it up".I can see this phrase quickly entering general English language use. Well, perhaps it already has. If not, I'm gonna start. "How'd the baseball game go?" "We shipped it, bro!""I just put the finishing touches on my term paper. Time to ship it!""Did you break up with your girlfriend yet?" "Oh yeah. I shipped that." (or simply) "Shipped!"

in "The Usual Suspects" there's a scene where they're talking about a guy who got killed in prison and the guy who killed him says "yeah, i shipped him"

I was playing 10/20 Limit holdem a couple of years back at a riverboat in NW Indiana and our table came to the agreement that "ship it" sounds ancient and slow. So we decided on "FedEx it!". This lasted for about 5mins.
