Poker-Cheating?

[grayman]

As I understand it, when you are caught cheating, you get thrown in jail, fined, and they take all of your winnings since you sat down. The simple solution then (aside from waiting until the end of the hand to cheat to decrease the odds of duplicate cards and getting caught) is to stand up from the table after each successful instance of cheating. Then simply sit back down. That way, any winnings from the previous hand are safe even if you get caught later.

Actually, you should probably stand up more often than that. Sometimes you'll win four or five hands in a row WITHOUT cheating. It's good to stand up then too, because if you cheat on the next hand and get caught, you lose all your non-cheating winnings too. I try to stand up after every 2000 gold, or sooner.
