Schmoo'd

(Verb) (Past Tense of "Schmoo:") To convince your poker opponent, especially in Texas Hold'em, not to fold their hand because they "might actually win something," when you know that you have the winning hand and they will lose more chips. This is best done with a shit-eating grin on your face. Not to be confused with a "bluff," the act of raising in a round of betting when your hand is weak. This is best performed in games that do not involve money and for humorous effect among friends and family, especially novice players that are still learning the ropes.

"Kim, you shouldn't fold this hand, look at the River, you might actually win this one!"

"Ok David! I guess I'll call this time!"

"Well...I lied, you should have folded, because I have Three of a Kind!"

"I only have a pair! YOU SCHMOO'D ME!"
