Spooking

A strategy of hole-carding where one player “spooks” and communicates that info to their team. Not strictly legal.


The practice of standing behind the dealer to peak at her hole card and then secretly convey the information to a co-conspirator sitting at the table. An illegal form of cheating. A court has ruled however that a seated player may use hole card information if obtained because of a dealer error or mishandling.
