Poker-Cheating?

[Dread]

Oh wow, I had no idea this could happen! Thanks for the info. I haven't cheated yet, but I've thought about it.

the cheater penalty lol sometimes it works and sometimes it send u to jail

It's best to play in a group of 3, doing it in this manner: one person, after winning, must drop out, if they so feel they may be inclined to cheat as such in the future. The other two, the enablers of the pot, stay in for the next round and reveal their hands to each other. As soon as possible, the one who left is to get back in and join.

You see, if you cheat, you can use (if you have them) the cards in your oppoent's hand if they'd help you. Then, they can build up a pot, and drop, or, to save you some time, just drop. As well, you can see another player, limit further what hands your opponent could have, and so on.

The best way to cheat thus is to not do it personally.

Heh, I like cheating in Blackjack.

Cheating is a great way to win alot of money and loose alot of money, you have to be smart to cheat but unfortunately the majority of pirates is not all that smart such as dude with one eye.

i dont cheat anymore unless i want to go jail

[Wildwood]

I cheat sometimes when I think the pot is going to be worth it, but if everyone has folded except for one person you tend to get caught more.

yea i say he that he calls some navy randomly and if we fight them and win we make the dealer pay us for 1000 gold

Yeah cheating in blackjack is the best. youre going to get caught less and u can bet much higher as well.

In Padres, I'm finding the players more conservative. If they don't fold, they ain't got much. You can find that handy when the table is like a four card sequence, short of a great hand by one card. Use that info to help you switch.

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.

Its alot harder to "cheat" (with cheat cards) in Poker and get away with it because there are far more cards being played each hand.

Blackjack is the easiest place to cheat and get rich from it.
