Crooked house game, quads on flop, your move?

If you are sure of the stacked deck just turn your cards face up "lol I flopped quads, let's check it down". If the guy with the quad 8's/straight flush has the balls to show his hand as the winner he deserves to win the blinds.

A nice thought, but absolutely wrong. It would be too obvious you know they're cheating, at which point they might decide they have nothing to lose and decide to rob you outright.

Check, fold, muck cards face down. Cash out, leave, never go back . . . if they let you cash out, that is.

Did u read the description of the players? They do not sound anything like the type that would pull a strong arm robbery.

If you act surprised and like you are willing to not take money off your 'friends' here because you are participating in a friendly home game this would not be suspicious. And even if they didn't buy it, given their description of spoiled rich kids they are not robbing anyone.

Please explain what leads you to believe they would pull a strong armed robbery.

They're trying to pull a subtle robbery; this speaks ill of their motives. In all liklihood, you're correct. The OP was probably safe. Not worth taking a chance, though.

In all likelihood, the story was made up. The OP is the kind of person who will watch you shuffle (and has spent time learning what to look for) to notice when you're doing something shady, but almost never cuts the deck? Doesn't that seem odd?

It does seem odd since like you say he watches the shuffle and knows what to look for. OTOH if someone can set up a deck while shuffling they can pull off a move where despite the deck being 'cut' it winds up just as it was prior to being 'cut'. Keep in mind that at less formal home games practices and procedures (shuffling, ect) are often random and inconsistent. If your going to deal a deck like this you actually want to have it 'cut' so you can use that to claim innocence when it's all said and done.
