Cheating at poker isn’t easy, but there are a couple of ways you can get an upper hand during your next game. Try subtly marking a high card in a way that only you will notice, like bending its corner. Then if you notice another player has the marked card later in the game, you’ll have a better idea of how strong their hand is. Another way to cheat is to hide a high card in your sleeve when you can’t use it in a round. Once you’ve hidden the card, just fold your hand. Then, switch the high card for a low one in a later hand. This will work best in games like Omaha, 7-card stud and 5-card draw, since it’ll be less obvious when you fold with fewer cards.
