Is this an angle shoot on Antonio's part to fish information. I believe he wouldn't have gone all in on the flop, I think he was playing a little scared money. He would have been in big trouble against Sammys hand. (Sammy a 80% favourite)

Is it just me, or does the term "angle shoot" get misused a lot around here?

Or, maybe it is simply that I am not 100% on it.

I have always used this term to mean that a player is actually doing something unscrupulous, not merely standard gamesmanship.

Am I wrong?

No, it's not just you. Some just feel the need to insert cool poker lingo into their comments. Whether the usage is remotely close to proper is really secondary to the opportunity to sound knowledgeable.
