Angle Shooting is using questionable or unethical tactics that aren’t outright illegal to gain an edge.
Explanation. Angle shooting involves exploiting ambiguities in poker rules or etiquette—such as pretending to fold, announcing unclear actions, or string-betting—to confuse or mislead opponents. Though not technically against the rules, it’s widely considered unethical and can damage one’s reputation. Players use it to manipulate perceptions, induce mistakes, or gain information. Recognizing angle shoots is important for advanced players focused on table dynamics and psychological aspects.
