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."

My mother in law is a Sandbag, because she doesn't bring any value to her own marriage and ours. She doesn't work, just watches TV, complains all day, manipulates and wants to divide. Only represents some kind of problem no matter what, brings nothing valuable to society.
