I chatted a bit while playing a heads-up against a fellow and decent regular. he recommended explaining some fundamental poker-vocabularies to widen my audience. I´ll create a list and always add vocabularies, if something jumps into my mind.
Vocabularies:
rake: amount of money, PokerStars takes away from the pot to pay for their stuff/server costs/(making the owner a zillionaire). If you have a pot of let´s say 200$, PokerStars takes like 3$ away.
rakeback: amount of money, you get back for your loyalty playing on PokerStars. The more you play, the more you get back. The higher your VIP-Level, the more you get back.
bankroll/br: amount of money I have available to exclusively play poker. (Not money for food/love,haha/hangovers)
upswing/heater: run like god at the poker tables, winning pot after pot, just a good run from time to time.
downswing: shut the f*ck up, please.
5k$: 5000$
NL100: means that you can maximum buy-in for one-hundred bucks. same goes for NL200/400/600 and so on.
bb: big blind
VIP-Points/VPPs: amount of points you are credited for every pot you play. the bigger the pot, the more VPPs you achieve.
SuperNovaElite/SNE: highest VIP-Level available on PokerStars and that what I am deeply aiming for. you achieve SNE by earning 1.000.000 VPPs through the calendar year. by achieving 1mio VPPs, PokerStars credits you with 100.000$ cash.

Guess that should do it for now. if you have any questions feel free to ask me.
As expected, poker is doing well right now. after 3 days of desperation, i managed (as i forecasted,haha) to bounce back at the tables and being up an "okayish" amount of money.
Gonna start grinding the juicy weekend games right now. hope things will go on well for me, gl at the tables:
