Rabbit hunt

Also: rabbit hunting, rabbiting

Asking the dealer to reveal the cards that would have come if the hand had continued after everyone folded. Most cardrooms forbid it; some allow it on request, and a few online rooms sell it as a paid feature.

Example. After folding his flush draw to a big bet he rabbit-hunted and saw the ace of spades on the turn.
