I usually just read in this forum, but im sick of these 'how to catch cheaters' posts.

You guys have obvously not played enough poker, [censored] like that happens, really.

BUT, then you might think he's cheating....

- why do you use two decks?

- why didnt you enforce hands on the table rule?

- why don't you cut the deck before the deal?

- why don't you use your brain?

All these things are in your control, and they are YOUR fault. Im sick of all these how do you catch a cheater posts. Use your friggin brains.

If you think they cheat, but can't prove it, leave, too bad, get over it.

Does this fall under the same category of "I hate it when I touch a hot pan and burn my finger- OW! I did it again"?

:P

Everyone knows that home games are rigged.

I would have jumped across the table and knocked the guy out if anything close to that happened again. Thats an obvious cheat to me.
Ask him not to shuffle under the table, in a non-obvious way, and see how he acts.

I do not believe it's your fault he's cheating, but you can prevent it. Almost the instant we started our home game we enforced 'deck stays on the table' and 'cut to your right'. If you can't get these rules in play or they don't help, leave.

In all likelihood your 'friend' will have to agree to the rules or else it'll look even worse, and you can expect the cheating to stop.

ALTHOUGH, and I'm not saying this to defend him, but yah, one hand could happen like this by chance.

Last night, on my deal, we were playing a split pot game: Omaha Chicago, so Omaha hi hand gets half the pot and the highest spade in the hole gets half the pot.

I got dealt AKKT with the Ace of Spades, flop was KKQ (With the K of spades) and I get into a big betting war with the only guy that had more chips then me. He ended up having QQxx (with the Q of spades)... my deal.. i doubled up against the chip lead.. didn't cheat tho.
