Poker Cheater Card System
|
Online poker cheating differs in several key ways from casino poker cheating. There are four principal areas of concern:
MINOR CHEATING : With friends telling each other hole cards on the phone or IM, but who do not share a bankroll or play together
IDIOT CHEATING : Now less common than in the past when more cardrooms did not fold hands when players timed out
INEPT COLLUSION : Where stupid partners collude together in ways so obvious that they are discovered quickly
EXPERT COLLUSION : Where competent people collude in an effective way, including "self-collusion" where one person plays in the same game on two different accounts
There are many card cheater ways and technique for which you need to have a trained eye to see the illegal movements of the card handlers. Mastering the art of card handling is like a full-time job that has a training period of decades, though. That devotion is not something that appeals to everyone. Most cheaters depend upon some very, very basic moves that are easy to spot. Below are some basic things to look out for :-
HOLDING OUT : This involves keep a card in your sleeve, on your lap, or anywhere that it isn`t visible to other players. The card is acquired from a previous game by throwing one card directly into the muck and keeping the other one. This gives the cheating player an extra card to swap with either of his existing pocket cards.
FALSE SHUFFLES : If one knows the top or bottom card of the deck, it`s not too difficult to shuffle a deck so that either or both of those cards stays at the top or bottom, while mixing up the cards in between.
RIFFLE SHUFFLE : A riffle shuffle is when one cuts a deck in twain and flutters the two sections together by applying pressure to the back of the cards while pulling up on the front with your thumb. The thumbs simultaneously release the pressure to make the cards flutter together. Then the two sections are pushed together.
OVERHAND SHUFFLE : This is the most common type of shuffling. It is when the shuffler holds the entire deck in one hand and throws or pulls part of the top of the deck into the other hand. This is done several times till the deck is completely in the opposite hand. The way to cheat involves a "transfer". In this case, the cheater will be putting the top card on the bottom of the deck, or vice versa, or both.
FALSE DEALS :This is a deal where a card besides the top card is dealt. It takes a lot of practice to make it look clean and convincing, though. By practicing these deals yourself for a while, you`ll become familiar with the difficulties of doing them. This will make a false deal stand out when you watch a potential cheater deal cards.
BOTTOM DEAL : This is the most prized trick of a gambler. It is simply dealing the bottom card of a deck instead of the top one. The term "Mechanic`s Grip" refers to the particular way a deck is held when performing the bottom deal. That`s when the left hand holds the left side of the deck between the heel of the hand and the tip of the second finger. The left thumb pushes out the top card in an attempt to disguise the trick deal, while the right hand makes the motions to toss out the bottom card.
SECOND DEAL : This is usually used when the dealer wants to give himself the top card, so he deals the second card in the deck out to everyone else so as to not lose it. Since this requires the dealer to pull off several second deals in a row, it is not as desirable as the bottom deal.
