Rabbit Hunting

Rabbit hunting is looking through the undealt cards of the deck after a hand has ended, to see which cards would have come. Most casinos do not allow it.

The simple explanation

After a hand ends early, a player may want to see what the turn and river would have been. This is rabbit hunting.

A closer look

Rabbit hunting is not allowed in many rooms, because it slows the game and can give information on the order of the deck. Where allowed, the dealer shows the cards. It has no influence on the game, but it may cause regret.

A practical example

A player folds on the flop and asks the dealer to show the turn and river, but the room does not allow rabbit hunting.
