Default Re: When callers beat you to the pot at limit poker - Angle shoot?

If they blatantly jump the gun then it's not an angle shoot. It's not a bet till it's over the line or forward motion past your cards. ** Against such predictable and easy opponents you get extra value on your hands because you sometimes save river bets.

** if you're consistently getting bets ready, sliding them forward but stopping just shy of the line, this is angle shooting. This tactic is commonly found in no limit games. A player makes a move like they're going all-in but stops just shy of the line hoping to get their opponent to act or even flip their cards early.
