I just wanted to add that the later you wait to swap, the MUCH greater your chances are that you will fail. I recommend swapping cards
only on the second turn. Swapping on the third and fourth turns usually means you just wasted a card, and you're still stuck with the crappy hand that made you want to cheat in the first place. In other words, you're going to lose. Or if your hand is already good enough to win, why did you waste that card?
Swapping on the first turn is bad because it increases your chances of getting caught (there are still a lot more cards to come up), and what five card hand could you possibly be making with just two cards? After the flop, when there are three more cards on the table, THEN you have enough cards to make a good hand.
Swap on Turn / Chances
(1) Deal (2 cards) / always successful
(2) Flop (3 more cards) / usually successful, sometimes (rarely) fails <-- CHEAT ON THIS TURN
(3) First single / sometimes successful, frequently fails
(4) Last card (all cards on table) / Rarely successful, usually fails
