Scoot (poker)
Pass chips between players, considered against the rules in
some clubs. For example, John goes broke, and says to Sue, in
the same game, "Could you lend me $20 to stay in the game?"
Sue takes $20 off her stack, and passes them over to John. This
is called scooting, and is considered illegal, even though it
may not be specifically mentioned in the rules, because Sue
has taken money off her own stack, which goes counter to the
rules governing table stakes. The term came from scoot partner.
