Re: What defines an angleshoot?
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
1. An angle is not against the rules. It is legal.
2. An angle is in the gray area of the rules. It is "pushing the envelope"
3. An angle is against the "spirit and intent of the rules".
[/ QUOTE ]
4. An angle shoot is an attempt to manipulate the game without explicitly breaking the rules.

I've been thinking of the most succinct definition I can and the best I could come up with was...
Deceiving the other player(s) and/or the dealer about the actions of the hand or final outcome of the hand.
You are allowed to be deceptive IN your actions, but your actions must be clear. Attempting to disguise the actions themselves is angleshooting.
