In poker, a cheater’s technique to get rid of extra cards.
"Skinning the hand" is a term used in poker, particularly in cash games, to refer to the practice of maximizing a player's winnings in a single hand by extracting as much value as possible from opponents. This can involve strategies such as betting aggressively, inducing bluffs, or making large value bets when holding a strong hand. The goal is to "skin" the hand for all its worth, ensuring that the player capitalizes on their favorable situation to take the largest pot possible. It requires a good understanding of opponents' tendencies, hand ranges, and the overall dynamics of the game.
