Commonly used in the multiplayer game Unreal Tournament, it means someone who waits at the opposing team's base and camps until his or her flag is returned, then takes the flag and runs solo. Can also refer to someone that camps and kills everyone that is hurt.

As Barbie's team was trying to run the flag, she camped at the other based and started to cherry pick.

Cherry Picking 

(also known as: suppressed evidence, fallacy of incomplete evidence, argument by selective observation, argument by half-truth, card stacking, fallacy of exclusion, ignoring the counter evidence, one-sided assessment, slanting, one-sidedness)

Description: When only select evidence is presented in order to persuade the audience to accept a position, and evidence that would go against the position is withheld. The stronger the withheld evidence, the more fallacious the argument.

My political candidate gives 10% of his income to the needy, goes to church every Sunday, and volunteers one day a week at a homeless shelter. Therefore, he is honest and morally straight.

Explanation: What information was left out of the example is that this same candidate gives 10% of his income to needy prostitutes in exchange for services, goes to the bar every Sunday after church (and sometimes before), and only works at the homeless shelter to get clients for his drug dealing business.

This is a prime example of cherry picking.

In sports, someone who prefers to take only easy shots. Mildly disparaging.
A common example comes from basketball, in which a "cherry picker" is a person who favors short shots, but especially a person who sits in the back court by the basket waiting for an outlet pass on a change of possession, enabling them to score easily before any defenders can reach them.
The origins of this term may come from the notion of "cherry picking" as attempting, or picking, only those things that are easily obtained, or only what suits your taste best, as a cherry might.

That punk can't ball for nothin'. He just sits back and cherry picks all day.

Constitutional Cherry Picker 

One who interprets the United States Constitution to coincide with their own worldview by selecting certain amendments to defend at all costs, while dismissing others.

A Constitutional Cherry Picker is someone who quotes the constitution while claiming that the 2nd amendment protects everyone's absolute right to own and carry a gun anywhere, but simultaneously believes that Muslims should not be granted religious freedom to build a mosque 2 blocks away from the 9/11 ground zero site.
