The Most Common Poker Cheats And Tricks

Poker cheats and tricks are actions that poker players use to gain advantage over their opponents. They are actions that are not permitted by poker rules but which players still practice anyway. When they are used, the player that is practicing them gets an edge over the competitor and will therefore be more likely to emerge the winner while the other one losses unfairly. Many poker playing sites have come up with strict penalties for those found using any kind of tricks to win. Here are some of the most common cheats used today.



1. Card Marking

Some players use unique substances to mark cards so that they will know the value of the card that you are using straight away. As you contemplate the card to throw in and the one to keep, they will be looking for the value to counter it. This obviously puts the in the driving seat of the game and are guaranteed to win because you can never win a game of poker when playing against someone who knows the value of all your cards. Dome of the things used to mark cards include juice and daub.

2. Players Colluding

When there are more than two players in the poker game, there is a high chance of some of the players colluding against the other so that one of them wins and they will share the prize. This happens in a way that one of them makes it too easy for the other player to win while making it difficult for another. This can be combined with card marking because if they know the value of all the cards, then one will throw in a specific card that will make the other to win. This of course makes the looser to unfairly miss out on the prize without realizing it.

3. Angle Shooting

In the case of angle shooting, a player uses unfair methods to know what the others are holding. For example, if the gaming stools that the players are using are the type that allow motion, then one player can pretend to move without intending and in the process, get a glimpse of what the others are holding. A player can also pretend to move his hand in a certain direction forcing the others to do so and as a result, their cards will be exposed to the cheating player. It some times is too difficult to tell when someone is angle shooting or if the actions are mere accidental situations. What is true about it is that there are many players who use this strategy to win unfairly and claim the prize.

No matter what type of poker tricks and cheats that you have ever been exposed to, it is important for every person involved in the game to ensure that there is a level playing ground for all the players. This game can only be enjoyed fully if the winners win genuinely and not by tricking and cheating their opponents just to take the prize.
