sandbagging

Intentionally withholding information (including not doing your best at an activity) in order to surprise someone later.

Examples:
- "Check-raise" in poker (showing weakness despite to encourage someone else betting, knowing you likely have a superior hand). Also known as "slow-playing."
- Implying that you have bad news, then revealing good news

Chuck made a sad face. "I have bad news," he said. After a pause, he broke into a grin. "Just kidding - I got the job! I was sandbagging you."
