Melee Meta Terminology

Dripping : To intentionally alter the order and timing you send a hand or group of hands to your opponent. This is accomplished by using the skip button and delaying when you send hands to your opponent often with the intention of sending them at a psychologically advantageous time, or for another metagame purpose.

Example: “Sir, Nathan is dripping in hands again!”

Range Pollution : To purposefully play a bad hand in order for it to show up in your range when others do analysis on you.

Example: “WTF sir, you four bet me preflop with 74o?” “Yeah - range pollution.”

Slacking : To be chatting in the Slack channel while you have pending hands.

Example: “Who are we waiting on, sir?” “I think Phil, but he’s Slacking.”

Philanthropy : A generous donation or series of donations from a player whose name is Phil.

Example 1: “Whoa sir, you were down 3 buyins and now you are up 2 buyins! What happened?” “Philanthropy.”

Example 2: “WTF sir, why did Phil call your all in with bottom pair when you had top set?” “Philanthropy.”
