Question Poker-Cheating?

I was playing Poker in Port Royal. I swapped out one of my cards, then at the end of the round, it said:

You have been caught cheating. You have been confiscated of all your winnings and fined 100 gold.

Why is that so wrong? It sent me to jail

You are allowed to swap cards, only thing i could say it was, was a bug because I've never seen that message before.

Lol are you serious!!

I have been caught cheating bout 5 times now . I must just have bad luck or be a bigger cheater

im not sure of the exact likelyhood but it does happen and usually earns you a swift trip to jail and some lost money so I only tend to cheat when I have a really lousy hand or just need one to make a really good one ie: flush / straight flush

I've managed to swap cards a half dozen times in the past -- always with the exact same result: Lost winnings, a 100 gold fine, and a swift trip to jail.

I don't even try to cheat anymore. Just not worth it, imo.

Can you EVER cheat successfully in Blackjack? I just assumed you couldn't, since all the cards are face up.

But yeah, if you get caught, they take back everything you've won since the last time you sat down at the table. So the key is, stand up every once in a while!

And the single fact that we are indeed pirates makes cheating ok, hmm? I might be wearing a three point hat and long coat to my next math test.

September 19th is, and i'm not making this up, international talk like a pirate day. It also just so happens to be the day i came into this cold, hard world. What a coincidence.

I think if we cheat, the bartender and the dealer should both become Lvl 20 and we have to defeat them to not go to jail. Then, a minute later, they both respawn and we go back to normal poker/blackjack playing.
