Obvious Collusion at *edited* (Long -Cliff Notes at bottom)

Matt Flynn is correct on this. But you may also want to look for "daubing," or marking the backs of cards. One effective way is to use lip gloss.

An aside to nailing the back of the card is that when you have it, you cannot see the mark, but from accross the table, it is clear as day light.

Mind you that a good hold-out artist would be undetectable.

I have seen cheats that play horrible, and I wouldn't want them out of my game.

But really, techniqus should be another thread, I just don't want to start it, but it would be "best of" worthy. The downside is that if you learn the techniques and how to identify them all, then the cheats will get better at cheating.

One time I was sitting at a table, where there were two colluders. They crunched someone all the way to the river (or maybe turn) and then the partner folded. Knowing what was happening, a player snatched the folded cards and threw them up for all to see: 63 offsoot.

There was a dealer (all the dealers knew they were cheats) and two props. No one said a word and the game continued.
