Luminous Readers (poker)
The place where sneaky poker players lie in wait, usually accompanied
by powerhouse hands they have sandbagged, or otherwise slow-played,
to trap unwary aggressive players; often part of the phrase
waiting in the weeds or lying in the weeds.
For example, in a high draw game, you raised before the draw
with three aces.
Among the several callers, the first man took three cards and
passed after
the draw. Everyone else passed. You did not improve your hand,
but three aces is worth a bet after the draw, so you bet. The
three-card draw now raises. The others fold. You call. He shows
his full house. He was waiting in the weeds. Also, bushes, as
part of the terms in the bushes, and woods, as part of the terms
in the woods and waiting in the woods.
