Roper

In poker, when you checkraise a multiway field. Particularly when you have had the lead in betting to that point.

I had been pushing my top pair, top kicker all the way, and went for a roper on the river since I thought the guy to my left would bet.

In poker, when you attempt a roper and it fails.

I checked, attempting to checkraise the field, but they all checked through. Boy, did I get firleyed.
