Sweat - To watch or root for a specific player when not in the game.
Sometimes a player who is not in the game will watch or actively root for a specific player who is playing. This is
called “sweating.” This is especially common at the final table of tournaments. People sweat each other for many
reasons. Quite often, the sweater may have a vested financial interest in the outcome of another player’s play. It is
also common for friends to sweat each other even if there is no financial agreement between them.
Sometimes a “sweater” may pull a chair up to the table and sit behind someone. This is a common behavior for husbands
and wives. This practice is generally allowed unless it is disruptive to the game. If the sweater is kibitzing, or if
other players in the game complain about the sweater, they may be asked to watch the game from the
rail. If someone who
is sweating the game makes you feel uncomfortable, you have every right to ask to have them removed to the rail,
especially if they are disruptive.
