Woody fingers is a term used by players at a poker table to describe a dealer they are not happy with - they are
indicating that the dealer who may be male or female is not
shuffling the cards correctly - they have woody fingers and the cards are remaining un-shuffled throughout the game. It is not so much a way of cheating as more of an indication of an
incompetent dealer
'The Dealer on this game is
terrible, Millie has told him ten times to cut the cards
different but he doesn't- he's like a robot, the guy has woody fingers for sure'
'Mickey got so fed up
with that woody fingers dealer he ended up ripping the cards up and swearing at him'
