Angle Shooter ( poker )
A poker player who uses various underhanded, unfair methods to take advantage
of inexperienced opponents.
The difference between an angle shooter and a cheat is only a matter of degree.
What a cheat or thief does is patently against the rules; what an angle shooter
does may be marginally legal,
but it's neither ethical nor gentlemanly. Nor is it in the spirit of the game.
Unfortunately, poker is not a gentleman's game. In addition to learning how
to
protect yourself against cheating players, you must learn to watch out for
the angle shooters.
