you are SO right, what is wrong with cheating? I mean come on people

we are pirates

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.

[Chris]

its odd u say that bc my pirate wears a three point hat and a long coat (word of advice i already tried cheating while dressed like a pirate didnt work teacher said that just bc i dress like a pirate does not mean i am a pirates and failed my 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.

[Chris]

lol if ye really want to be a pirate join the pirate renacting club (bunch of regualr day people who work in offices ect. who i think in june set sail on a sail boat and sail the 7 seas)

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.

[Chris]

LOL yea fight the dealer O_o

[Dukk19]

but the dealer is the same in padres, tortuga, port royal, and cuba, either that or he has clones

I'll admit: I've cheated at poker and won. I've also cheated and lost, also got caught, fined, and tossed in jail.

I don't do well at hold-em so only play enough to complete the quests. Same w/ Blackjack.

Sad thing: I fold with 3 and 5 off suit. The flop: 3 threes. I wanted to cry...could've suckered the whole table for big coin with that hand.

Getting caught cheating only happens when you swap a card into the dect and the same card is already in play. Like on the 5 turn cards, or in another players hands. The dealer check s the cards before the next hand and if theres a duplicate, boom u go to jail. Its a risk you have to take if you want to cheat.

Angel.. It sounds like you get caught often??

[Maximvs]

First time I tried to cheat - I got caught - $100 fine and Jail here I come LOL

Never tried it after that - was going to but then the cash kinda just started flowing in and i was set. Now I have 68 Cards, including a Royal Flush Set in Hearts and Diamonds (A, K Q, J, 10 in both)...

But I have so much money I've never needed to play the game 'for money' - just to do the quests. One day though when there is a slow time I would love to sit down for a few hours, go crazy at a table in Padres and see how well I do (or how many times I have to break out of Jail at Fort Padres - I'll be in the daily Leaderboard for Times in Jail that day LOL)

[Angel]

Not anymore. Expecially after I learned the trick.

She's right. You all probably get caught cheating a lot because you try to play the same card that you already have or the table has. Try swapping a card that has the same value but different suit.
