A poker slang word. Sandbag: Also "
slow play", to play a very strong hand in a passive manner so as to induce your opponent or opponents into betting, with the intent of raising. The essence of the sandbag is the "check raise", to check, giving the appearance of weakness, thereby luring your opponent to bet, and then raise, or "go over the top".
"Dude, I
sand bagged this donkey, when I spiked trip kings on the turn. I check raised him all in, and he got
felted."
