I hate cheaters (a bit long)
This past weekend I attended a regularly run home game. The deal was passed from player to player until the host busted out (because he's a really donk player). He decided that he would deal for the remainder of the night. I had no problem with that (at first). He started dealing a bit unusual; after dealing the flop, he would look at the turn and river card before putting them face down on the table (while there was still betting on the flop). After each respective round of betting, he would then turn the appropriate card up. He would also look at my hole cards (I was sitting beside him). It took me a few hands to figure out that he was 'signalling' one of the other players. I folded the next hands and watched carefully just to make sure that I wasn't being paranoid and confirmed that he was in fact cheating. I was a little ahead in the money and started to just cash out, leave, and never go back. But I just couldn't resist calling him out before leaving. I folded a hand and watched as he once again signalled his partner. There were 2 other players in the hand. I commented, "The turn or the river is an ace." They looked up me questioningly. "That's what Jack (host) just signalled to that mother****** over there. Jack demanded to know if I was accusing him of cheating. I replied that I was and to prove it I bet him that there was indeed an ace. The argument and name calling then started, but he refused to bet me. Sure enough, the river card was an ace. Jack continued his tirade and ordered me to leave his house. I replied something to the effect of I could not wait to leave the house of a cheater and he needed to cash me out. He refused to cash in my chips, one thing led to another, and he ended up severely bruising my knuckles with his face. This happened just this past weekend. I'm sure that it's not over, but I'll handle it. I hate cheaters.

Re: I hate cheaters (a bit long)
I think the moral of this story is:
Cash out before you call the guy holding your money a cheat. There is a guy in my game that will put the cards out like that. It's really annoying even if he isn't cheating. |

I guess my id took control, as I acted during the heat of the moment rather than thinking it through. The other guys that were playing have since called me and expressed their support; they apparently didn't like being cheated either. Who knows how this will play out with the host. I'm not going to snitch him out to the local police; it just seems a little hypocritical to me. Call me an idiot if you will, but I'm not going to report someone for gambling when I'm guilty of the same thing. I can only hope that the dimwit learned his lesson. |

Re: I hate cheaters (a bit long)
Hmmm, immediately after, I had that good old post-fight adrenalin rush. I was just standing over him glaring at him like... well you know. One of our mutual friends interceded before it got any worse. He stepped in and took over (bless you E). He cashed out my chips and respectfully escorted me out. Could I have handled it differently? Absolutely. Do I regret what I did? Nope. Will there be repercussions? I doubt it, but I'll deal with it if there is. Which goes back to my original post - I hate cheaters. I hope that 'Jack' learned his lesson and will think twice before hosting a rigged game in the future, and I hope that anyone reading this thread that has thought about cheating will think twice.

You forfeited your money when you called the host out. If I were you, I'd wait a few weeks to let this blow over, then call the cops and get that game busted. Tell them there's drugs and underage alcohol consumption involved if that's what it takes. Host should get some nice jail time to think about it (not to mention an obligation to cash out all the chips out of pocket after the cops take all the cash in the house).

Re: I hate cheaters (a bit long)
yeah, definitely cash out before you start all that, but i am somewhat proud to see that you did exactly what i would've done, only in a different order.
as soon as i read that he was refusing to cash you out, and name-calling started, i know for a fact i wouldn't be able to stay out of a fight.. just be careful fighting people in their own houses...home turf = big advantage. i doubt i'd lose a fight in my own house... |

Re: I hate cheaters (a bit long)
Why would you let the dealer look at the turn/river and why would you let him look at your cards? Props for sticking up for yourself, but you were asking to get cheated in the first place.
