Cherwenked

A West Coast poker term thought to be a Slavic variation of the word "hoodwinked". It refers to a tactic used by a player who uses psychology to make an opponent think they are weak by folding and praising their opponent's play. The player later takes all the opponent's money on a much larger bet.

Andrew cherwenked Sylvano after folding his hand but later stacked him on a bigger pot.
