In poker, a ‘kangaroo’ describes a player who manages to win a particular round having had a poor starting card combination but stills emerged a winner through some sort of chance. Just like kangaroo, the player ‘hops’ to a win. It is an informal term used at the poker table.

I never heard anyone call a player a kangaroo when playing poker. I'd probably laugh if I heard someone say it.

It is also used for players that who moves from table to table or for someone who likes to switch games often.
