That's why I think the definition has to be based on intent. If the motion is meant to trick someone, it's an angle.
I agree that something has to be intentional to be
criticized as an angle. Angles by definition are unethical, i.e., contrary to the spirit and ethics of the game. If done by accident, something may be regrettable, but can hardly be unethical, therefore it's not an actual angle.
But anything (outside of actual bets) done with the intent to deceive is an angle?
Facial expressions, tone of voice, posture, different betting motions or timing? Any reverse tell? I think these are all part of live poker, and not angles. It feels as though you think live poker should replicate online poker. Ugh.
