Cheating in Poker During Modern Times

Cheating in poker during the modern times became more difficult and forbidding with the introduction of 52-card decks. As the game became more complex and new rules were added and enforced, crooked players became more creative in their attempts to cheat.

Perhaps the most common method of cheating at the poker tables is collusion or the partnership of players working together to cheat other players. Using secret signals, the colluding players communicate with each other, giving vital information on the card they're holding. The infamous "marked deck" is one of the implements used by colluding players to gain an unfair advantage on the game. Cards were "marked" by players in ways noticeable only to the cheater or the edges of cards were "nicked" as a signal to the colluding player.

Collusion in poker even found its way to the Internet, especially with the availability of VOIP (Voice over IP) technology that enables players to collude with each other over the Internet. Naturally, online casinos have strict rules against such collusions and a player can be banned or suspended if collusion is discovered. However, online collusion is nearly impossible to detect and stop.

Some crooked gamblers cheat through the use of "second dealing" or "bottom dealing," techniques where the second or bottom cards were stealthily dealt instead of the top card. The top card then goes to the cheater's hand. These techniques require a great deal of skill and sleight of hand, and are possible only in private games where the cheater is the one dealing the cards.

Other cheaters take to stealing their opponents' chips. The chip thief usually watches for inattentive players and then quickly steals a stray chip near the target player's stack. Sometimes, the thief uses a sticky substance to make the pilfering easier to pull off. With luck and perfect timing, the thief succeeds in stealing chips and adds them to his own stack.

There are several other ways of cheating, sometimes with the use of computers and other electronic devices. Card counting, usually common in blackjack, can also be considered as cheating. Most casinos forbid the use of card counting techniques in poker and a player may be asked to leave under suspicion of card counting.

In some rare instances, the casino dealers connive with the crooked gamblers to influence the outcome of the game in favor of the cheater, such as discreetly lifting the corner of the cards as they were being dealt. However, such cases commonly take place in small casinos where the dealer can be easily bribed.

If you suspect someone cheating at your poker table, the best thing to do is to leave the table. Cheating is a cowardly way to win in poker. It's better to brush up on skills and strategies rather than waste your time in cheating tactics.
