Have you ever witnessed a cheater at a poker game? Did you or anyone expose them? What happened?

I used to play with a bunch of guys from work along with their "friends". $1-10 game.

Never called this "friend" out, just folded every time he dealt and the cards were not cut. It was supposed to be a friendly game, the cut being an option.

High or low Chicago, he had the ace or two. Blind baseball, his last card was wild.

It wasn't worth the exposure. Just a fold.

Anybody witnessed some good exposures?

I have never seen anyone madder than last year at our weekly poker game. It was about 2 in the morning, so we had widdled to 5 players I believe. We might have been playing Pass the Trash, and I couldnt remember what happened, but one kid got pissed off when the final card was exposed and he swore up and down that he had had that and discarded it after receiving the passoff from another player? Oh, forgot, when the kid who got accused got to his 5th card, it wasn't there, so he reached for a pile and got the ace out of it, the shit hit the fan. We were at the accusers garage who said that it was his ace, the kid said it was his, so the accuser stood up and started screaming calling him a cheater. I'm just sitting there like what the hell, I had already folded so I wasnt paying any attention. Everyone kind of calms down and starts thinking about what happened, but then the accuser starts yelling and screaming again, wanting to fight(that would have been good). He lifted up the table twice, both times knocking my chips off the table and into other peoples stack, that argument cost me over $5 in lost chips. Finally the accuser tells the kid to get the **** out and never come back to play poker... He hasnt played with us since, and the accuser hasnt played with us this year either. It was crazy

Played gin with a guy for over 20 years and knew he cheated, but he was such a bad player, I could've cared less. Most that played the game knew it. Last year, new guy at the club makes a big deal about it, basically embarassing the guy to no end. Obviously the guy left the club and we are now all poorer.

Gin is a great game.

Ever see the movie ROUNDERS?
That was based on a game Irish hosts in NYC

LMFAO! I enjoyed that movie. My first fight here was over internet poker and me saying that was one of the most realistic poker movies I had seen. Man did those movie critics pick me apart!!

People dont know what cheating is, cheating goes on at 80% of all La Poker games.

1. Playing out of turn, most lowlifes do this at all levels of poker, even if it is a balk move they do it. If your not buddys with the people on the table or the floorman your screwed. this meams to talk fornication and laugh at stupid jokes. Most poker players have no competitve background and are rats by nature.

2. Another thing is people being freinds, and not raising freinds, it is subtle partnership. The house is usually in on the scam becuase they employ prop players, a prop player is bascically a scumbag lowlife cheater 90% of the time.

3. Only real poker is heads up no limit with big antes, and all verbage goes. That gets rid of the cheating and the cowards and believe me 90% of all poker players are cowards.

3.

Last month I worked for ESPN on the WSOP. A production guy comes out to the floor and says awefully loud and jokingly, "there's a guy marking all the cards with his organge peel, if we say something will the tables flip and guns be drawn?". I stopped him in his tracks and explained to him who this person was, how to call out a cheat and the consequences that will follow. He didn't quite realize the seriousness of what he had seen. Since this person was low on chips at this stage in the tourney, we weren't sure if the markings were intentional or not. Needless to say, nothing was said and this person was out shortly after. Who was the man that keeps a card marking orange in front of him?

Johnny Chan.

not suprised at all Johnny chan is a cheater, he is a known cheater in La, he looks at Larry flynts cards for hours at a time, because Larry Flynt was shot for pornaography and now cant keep his hand still, and Chan is always peaking at larrys exposed hand. Most poker players are lowlifes.
