UncleHoot 0 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 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...

outsider13 0 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Either use is fine. Call it whatever you want, but make sure that you use the term Lagger mig for folding. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm going to need an example.It's fun to think that we're developing our own language. I mean, if I were to say, "I raised with my rockets pre-flop under-the-gun and some donk shipped with big slick and got felted," the average person would not have a clue what I was talking about.

UncleHoot 0 Posted January 16, 2009 Author Share Posted January 16, 2009 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!" Link to post Share on other sites

AcesUp46 0 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 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. Link to post Share on other sites
