have you ever cheated in a poker home game? Or anyone at your home game?
not on purpose, no.
one thing that really irks me though is peoples innate ability to cover their cards when peeking at them. its literally the easiest thing in the world to do if you have use of both of your hands.
if you ever play with me and find me staring at a specific spot on a wall in front of me, its because the person to my left or right is checking their cards, and im doing my best to not use my peripheral vision and accidentally see their cards.
If you cheat, at some point you will pay a significant price. Why play the game if you need to cheat to win.
I have not and nobody at any of my games, or games I have gone to has not had a situation where someone is attempting to cheat.
In my experience even telling the person next to you (in a casino or card room, not s friendly home game) that you can see their cards can lead to unpleasant results. I don't warn anymore. If I see your cards, that's on you.
I always feel bad for others at the table and not the moron fish beside me who can't protect his cards. It's unfair to all the others at the table if I'm the only one who can see them. I usually just tell them after the second time but i do it very casually. Good thing it doesn't happen oftenIn my experience even telling the person next to you (in a casino or card room, not s friendly home game) that you can see their cards can lead to unpleasant results.

Thankfully you'll tell the blind monkey sitting next to you at the BBotBs.
We have caught 2 cheaters in our home game. The evidence was not conclusive while they were on the premesis, so they both left with some of their money in their pocket, but it was enough evidence to ban them.
In one case we caught the cheating on video, but didn't see it until after the game was over.
The people that brought them into the game (from the EPT, local bar league) were also banned. I was selective before in who we allowed to play, now I'm doubly so.
Id be interested in hearing this story...also interested in the taping methods. Was I taped at BBotB5 and I didnt know it?
And for the most part, the people who play those EPT events are the worst. Just my 2c
Was he a regular? Maybe he didnt know the SOHE rules about switching hands? Is that a possibility or was this a blatant angle?
