The Weak Lead

In some circles a weak lead could be any guy who had the unfortunate pleasure of being Ginger Rogers' dance partner. With her own prodigious skill coupled with the fact that she was used to doing her dancing with Fred Astaire, anyone else taking the lovely Ms. Rogers out for an evening of high stepping would have seemed like trying to replace Napoleon with "Urkel". In the poker world a weak lead is when a player makes an opening bet out of position in the face of somebody at the table who generally raises before the flop.
