Lying in the Weeds 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 lying in the bushes, and woods,
as part of the terms in the woods and waiting in the woods.
