Double-Dealing ( poker )


A cheating move in which a dealer gives more cards (usually two at a time rather than one) to his confederate or
himself than to the other players. The presumption is the player with more than the requisite number of cards will
form his best five-card hand, and then get rid of the one or more excess cards (clean up).
The phrase has passed into general usage meaning cheating someone or the public in general.
