Squeeze (poker)
1) In a draw game, look at one's cards slowly; so called because
players start with their cards tightly squared together, such
that they can see only the first card, and then slowly squeeze
them apart, that is, separate them, causing each card to reveal
itself, slowly, one at a time, as if the viewer wishes to surprise
himself with the cards; this is often done agonizingly slowly,
frequently when it is the squeezer's turn to act, as if the
player deliberately wants to annoy the others, while he pretends
to be innocent of any knowledge of what effect his slowness
is having. Sometimes called sweat. "Hey, don't squeeze
the spots off of `em; we're paying time here." 2) Whipsaw
(To raise before, and after, a caller who gets caught in the
middle.).
