Poker Strategies
After receiving pocket cards, you are immediately faced with a choice: play your cards and either raise or call the blinds, or fold.

There are many items listed in the catalog which no smart cheat has used in years and for which many amateur cheats have paid good money only to get the horselaugh or a beating in the first halfway smart game they sit in on. The punch line here is that I know of one crooked-gambling-equipment manufacturer who retired wealthy after years of selling crooked devices (much of it junk) to cheaters and would-be cheaters. Then, with nothing to do and money in the bank, he began gambling, became an addict and went broke. And some of his bankroll went to the professional cheats who used something you can't order from any catalog—sleight-of-hand moves.
Marking Cards During Play
Marking Cards During Play When the skilled cheat has no good opportunity to switch a marked deck into play, he uses a type of mark that can be applied during the game. The markings are more easily detected by a smart player, and the cheat takes more risk, but it is a mighty common practice in high-stakes games where knowing the value of one or two cards is highly important.
