Rabbit hunting in poker is when players look at the cards that would have come if the hand had continued—after the hand is already over. It’s like peeking into the “what if” of poker: what if nobody folded, what if we saw the turn or river?
For example, if everyone folds on the flop and someone asks the dealer, “What was the next card?”—that’s rabbit hunting.
It doesn’t affect the result of the hand, but it feeds curiosity or helps some players mentally track patterns, even though it’s purely for entertainment. In live games, some dealers might show the cards if requested, but many casinos and all online sites forbid it, since it can slow down the game and give players unintended information.
Rabbit hunting won’t change the outcome—but it can change your mood. Whether it makes you sigh in relief or scream in regret, it’s pure poker curiosity.
