Definition of reg
A "reg" is a shortened way of saying "a regular". We are talking about a regular poker player, who we see every day at our tables. A regular is not only a regular player, but also a winning player. If a player is present at your tables every day, but loses day after day, he is not a regular, but a "fish" or "reg fish". When playing against a reg, we assume that he is decent, that he knows how to play and we try to limit our interactions with him. A reg is a winning player who studies his game and is serious in his approach.
