Poker Cheats: Beware of Pot Clipping and the Stacked Deck
Overview
Poker cheats come in all forms, from business professionals to beloved grandparents. These individuals are constantly devising new and clever tactics to gain an unfair advantage over other players. Among the tricks they use are "pot clipping" and manipulating the deck.
Pot Clipping
Pot clipping is a sleight of hand technique that doesn't involve altering the cards. Instead, the cheater either places a bet with insufficient money or takes excess money from the pot.
To prevent this, players need to be vigilant about monitoring all the cash that goes in or out of the pot. In friendly home games, where players often make change from the pot, cheaters can easily exploit the distraction. Trusted friends assume no one would cheat in such a setting, and if caught, the offender can simply claim it was an honest mistake.
The Stacked Deck
When people think about poker cheating, "the stacked deck" often comes to mind. This ages-old trick can be easily executed but typically works only once during a session, as the deck is reshuffled for the next game.
Before the game, the cheater prepares the deck by inserting certain cards in strategic positions. They might claim the deck was already shuffled or swap the stacked deck with the real one, especially when in cahoots with other players, a tactic known as collusion.
Additionally, cheaters may use decks with non-symmetrical backs, turning certain cards upside down to mark them.
Conclusion
Poker games, whether casual or professional, require players to stay alert to safeguard against cheats like pot clipping and stacked decks. By understanding these tactics, you can better protect yourself and maintain the fairness of the game.
