This “evil trick” is the Gamemakers adding poisonous berries to the arena. If Katniss didn't recognize these berries, she forced to scavenge for food like she did in the Seam and the woods.

When she goes back to the Capitol with Peeta Mellark, the fellow tribute from District 12, she discovers President Snow is viewing her as rebellious and her only defense, as stated on page 351, is that she was madly in love.
