I'm sure this question will get me laughed off of the board (I'm a misfit. The non-poker sneeches will hate me cause I play poker, and the poker-bellied sneeches will hate me because my poker is inadequate), but I'm having trouble finding a resource that explains what all of the numbers mean when tournaments or even tables for that matter, are displayed on a poker web site.

One recent example is Cartman's tourney he's in right now. I understand it's a $10 buy-in tournament, but I don't get what the +1 means. I have seen quite a few different examples of "extra" numbers like this on tables during my free roll mishaps, but I can't find anything that splains em all.

It means how much of the fee goes to the house. For example, Cartman's $10 + $1 cost him $11 to enter, of that $11, $10 went to the prize pool and the house kept $1.

+1 means that you add a dash - just one! - of garlic powder, then bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Enjoy!
