[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1389702, member: 14585"] No that's not gambling... that's shearing the sheep...you can shear sheep many times, but butcher them only once. I sat in a private poker game once with fellows I barely knew in a rough part of town... there was a young Native American kid baby faced and innocent looking as could be, but noticed he had a lot of manual dexterity. I didn't feel comfortable and excused myself from the game. Later met up with and talked to him. He showed me he could deal seconds and bottom of deck to appear they were coming off the top and stack cards while gathering the deck like nobody's business, he was able to deal a full house to any spot on the table and himself 4 of a kind at will. Glad I didn't play that night, you really need to trust your gut when playing with strangers in a private setting. P.S. If you play with strangers you need to know how to spot a marked deck in under 10 seconds handling the deck. The secret is to riff the deck... the back of marked cards will move like cartoon figures when riffed. I've never called anyone on a marked deck, fear of creating trouble, but I will make an excuse to leave the game asap. There... I've done my good deed for the day, if that helps anyone. Tomorrow's lesson... Belly Strippers... no not dancing girls, shaved card decks. [/QUOTE]
