Sandbagging

Created by Roco415 on July 23, 2009

Definition

Also known as check-raising. Sometimes this is frowned upon because it is being ‘dishonest’ as you are not betting the hand like you should. In modern times, it is rare to be berated for sand-bagging/check-raising as it has become a crucial component of poker strategy.

Example

He was accused of sandbagging after he checked to John and then raised his bet shortly after.
