7 Ways To Cheat At Poker
Simon M Skinner
CHeating at poker is as old as the game. There are a number of methods to cheat at poker from very simple to very complex ways. There isn't much harm in knowing a few ways to cheat at the game, even if it is only to recognise when someone is cheating you.
1.How the Kids Do It There's not very much art to the old "peeking" routine, which simply involves the childish player causing a diversion so that he or she can sneak a peek at his opponent's cards. The advantage here is that it's hard to prove that a cheater is really peeking on purpose-at least the first time.
2.How the Misers Do It A miser never parts with his money, and when he plays poker he is sure to subtly avoid paying house fees while attempting to short the pot. (He may even use adhesives under the table or simply try kidnapping a chip in his palm) Again, it always works the first time but keep it up long enough and you'll be banned for life. (Even by your friends!)
3.How the Conjurors Do It A conjuror is an expert at rigging cards and may replace a bad hand with another hand hidden elsewhere.
4.How the Shady Dealers Do It The shady dealers know how to keep (cull) their favorite cards, and to place their best cards at the bottom of the deck. Some dealers will utilize their index finger to peek at cards as they are dealing them. You may notice how closely all cards.
5.How the Manipulative Dealers Do It There are crooked dealers and then there are ingeniously crooked dealers. Any good cheat cannot be seen to be getting winning hands every game, but by ensuring another player gets an artificially strong hand they can keep the pot boiling and raise their winnings.
6.How the Card Makers Do It Bringing your own deck of cards to play with is a low blow, since you can use your own cold deck, a set of prearranged cards (such as every fourth card dealt will form a winning hand) or even specially marked cards that tell you the value of the card from the back. (Common markings include a scratch, a circle or a sun discoloration)
7.How the Confederates Do It Collusion is a great way to cheat because people expect onlCollusion is one of the best ways to cheat at poker, since everyone suspects a single cheat, but they do not expect a team of cheats. Techniques in this case might include raisinfg and re-raising the pot to trap other players.
