is a strategy of poker play where a player purposely, but seemingly accidentally, attempts to play his turn before it is due. By doing this other players may react by not betting or by folding as the anglers actions is perceived as eagerness associated with a strong hand. When eventually it does reach his turn, often the angler dismisses betting, or may even win because the other players decided to fold. A player who attempts to use this tactic constantly is known as an angle shooter.

Proposing to another player and agreement, private and outside the rules, that the pot be split evenly regardless of which player wins it, or that players refrain from raising against each other.

This is characterized as any acting out of turn. It is considered angling when any player folds or bets out of turn. A player who uses constant angling is known as an "angle shooter". Angling is used to make opponents bet or fold differently to that if they didn't know what the anglers play was. For example, if the angler signals to bet before his turn, other players to the angler's right react by not betting or perhaps even folding. When the round reaches the angler, the angler announces that he or she is not interested in betting after all, or winning a hand due to the opponents fold.
