Fox Hunt
Verb
To ask to see the next card that would have been dealt or revealed in a hand that ended before all cards were dealt or revealed.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: This differs from rabbit hunting in that it is a request to see only one additional cards rather than all remaining cards.
EXAMPLE: "We were playing 7-card stud and I folded a high pair and a gutshot straight draw on fifth street. I would've won if I made the straight, but didn't think I had the pot odds to draw. I thought about fox hunting to see if sixth street would've helped, but decided I didn't want to know. I made the right fold, and I'd be kicking myself for the right decision if sixth street would've completed my straight."
