...hole carding is to peek at the card when the dealer checks the hole card for
blackjack.... "spooking" refers to a partner with a better view peeking at the hole card...
BTW in my neck of the woods, holecarders have a different way to peek at the holecard since dealers don't peek.
The AP at 3rd base peeks at a weak dealer's 2nd card as she sloppily pulls it out of the shoe, i.e., ala "Jackie-style". I love holecarding especially when it offers the 100%+EV in the case of "even-money" or the insurance bet. As a curious question, how much will you guys want to pay if a cardholder is willing to teach you guys how to holecard
?
If what you've written above is your level of expertise, not a damn cent.
"One of these days in your travels, you are going to come across a guy with a nice brand new deck of cards, and this guy is going to offer to bet you that he can make the Jack of Spades jump out of the deck and squirt cider in your ear. But, son, do not take this bet, for if you do, as sure as you are standing there, you are going to end up with an ear full of cider."

In shoe BJ you are not going to find this very often maybe 1 out of 100 dealers will give you a read if you are a 4'10" asian woman in the perfect seat. It's more like 1 in 10 at carnival games, of those maybe 30-50% could be played by anyone and will be quickly fixed, another 30-50% are worth playing for top pros, the others are too inconsistent.
There are a few tricks (being able to distinguish between paints is the real pro skill which doesnt matter in BJ but does in other games) but otherwise it's mostly about being short, getting a good angle, and seeing well. I am not the best at it.
I walked down the aisle, between pits, at a store in LV. Of the 4 carnival games side by side, I got a perfect read on 3 of them, hand after hand after hand. Mind you, I was standing a good 5-10+ feet behind the table. Saw one guy playing black, sitting low, who was hole carding. I returned a few times the following 2 weeks and never got another read.

I had a really good slip by the dealer once this weekend. He turned over one card fumbled with the cards and then turned it back face down and turned over the other card. He had a jack and a king. It didn't help me any because I busted but I convinced the other player (who wasn't paying attention) to hit his hard 17 and he got a 4.
