Poker Cheat Name
Have you ever played poker against someone who was a little too good? Someone who always seemed to get the right card in the highest-pressure situations and eke out an improbable win when they should have already lost? If you’ve played poker for long, then you have definitely run into such a player.
When you sit with a player on an improbable hot streak for too long, you might think that person is cheating. Be careful with that kind of thinking because, in probably 99.9% of the cases, the player is just facing a hot streak and it was just not in the cards for you to win.
It’s better to cash out and let your bankroll survive another night. After all, there is such a thing as a lucky streak even if science and statistics can’t explain them.
New Computer Poker Cheat System To See All Cards And Ranks Of Players In Screen. This is a new poker software computer system, this poker system can show you the order of all cards on the top of computer, and also can show you every card which are holding in all players’ hands and covering on the table, what’s more, it also shows you the rank of all players, that is, who is first winner. Just as the title says I cheat at online poker and have been doing so for the past 4 years.Why do I cheat?Because I can.There are two types of online poker players,the ones that cheat and the ones.
Let’s say that’s not the case, though. Let’s say you’re convinced that a particular player is cheating. How do you know they’re cheating? What can you do to spot behavior that identifies them as a cheat? Here are seven ways to spot a poker cheater that you can use in your real-life poker games.
1 – They’ve Played Long Hours
This first hint really only applies to playing online poker, but one of the signs of cheating will be if they have been playing online for a long period of time. By “long,” I mean an amount of time you wouldn’t expect a human to be able to play for and still be able to make coherent plays (a minimum of 12 hours but more like 18 to 24 hours).
If you notice that someone has been able to play for a long period of time, it’s possible they’re a bot which is a program that has been specially designed to play the game of poker.
Weekends and holidays can affect how long someone might play, so be sure they are showing some other bot characteristics. You would probably feel pretty bad if you accused a human of being a bot and ruined their long weekend in which they planned to marathon some poker.
2 – Patterns Don’t Change
This is another good online hint that the player at the table is actually a bot. If you notice they’re constantly using the same pattern, there’s a chance they are a bot and not a human. Of course, like everything else, show some discretion before reporting someone for being a bot.
Really analyze the patterns of their play and see if they’re the same across a number of different scenarios: being on the button, having position, not having position, etc. This is even more important when the player in question makes the same stupid mistake in the same situations.
The people who design bots are smart, but programs cannot account for every possible poker combination. If you see the same mistake made over and over again, there’s a better chance they are a bot.
Still, I cannot give this advice without one more caveat. Some patterns are okay. For instance, don’t start reporting players for following basic blackjack strategies. That would be silly. The patterns need to be consistent (in that they happen every time, not just most times) and specific to a given situation. Then, you might have a bot.
3 – Players Always at the Same Table
This is an interesting sign of cheating in both online and live poker, but it’s a little more suspicious in online poker. In real life, it’s pretty common to head to a poker room with a friend or two, so sitting together and talking at the table is not a sign of cheating at poker. It’s an opportunity to see if they make similar hand gestures, eye moments, or use the same words over and over.
On the other hand, in online poker, there could be thousands of accounts registered for some of the larger sites.
Therefore, if two players are at the same table often, there’s a good chance it’s intentional. Then, given the fact you don’t know what those two players are saying outside of the game, it’s not a bad idea to assume they’re cheating and go to another table.
Unfortunately, you can’t prove anything, but you can leave to be safe.
4 – Strange Play When Two Players Go Head-to-Head
Again, this can be a sign of poker cheating online or live. In this case, if you notice a pattern of strange behavior when the same two players meet head-to-head, they might be cheating. By strange, this could mean one player always folds, always value bets, or always makes the same mistake.
In live poker, this could mean that two players are working together and plan to split the pot. In online poker, it could mean that one player is playing two accounts, two players are working together, or a player is teaming up with a bot.
Again, it’s hard to gauge if a given pattern really constitutes strange behavior, and it’s almost impossible to prove. Therefore, if you start to feel uncomfortable that someone is acting odd, move tables in online poker, or say something quietly to the pit boss in live poker.
5 – Too Many Strange Bets With the Odds Against Them
This mainly applies to online poker. If you find that one player is betting big when they should be folding, they very well could be cheating.
This was actually a major giveaway that shenanigans were going a few years ago. Hackers were able to install malware, targeting specific top online casino sites that took pictures of players hands and let them know when to go big and when to fold.
6 – You’re Playing on a Lesser-Known Site
If you’re not playing on a reputable site, there’s a much, much better chance that other players are cheating. The major sites are constantly working to find frauds and prevent them from playing the game. Lesser known sites may have small IT groups that don’t have the resources to fight cheating as effectively, or they may not care as much as the big names.
With that said, you are more likely to be cheater-free on a larger site. You are also more likely to get your money back from a more reputable site, too.
7 – Too Many Improbable Wins as the Dealer
This last cheat applies to live poker only and is as old as the Old West (or at least movies about it). If you’re playing live poker in which someone besides a casino dealer is dealing, pay attention to the player’s win percentage when dealing versus when they are not.
If you suddenly find that a player who can’t count to 21 in blackjack suddenly becomes a shark when dealing, there’s a good chance they’ve spent more time learning to stack a deck than play poker.
Also, pay attention if another player at the table gets overly lucky when there’s another dealer. This is the scenario from Rounders in which Edward Norton deals an overly sweet hand to Matt Damon and they both get beaten up.
Conclusion
Cheating and accusations of cheating are sensational and good for headlines. That doesn’t mean you need to worry about them happening that often.
The fact of the matter is that pit bosses, dealers, computer AI, online poker algorithms, and other players are pretty good at spotting when someone is cheating in poker. And they’re usually great at taking steps to handle it when it happens. In other words, there’s no reason to be paranoid that someone is trying to cheat.
At the same time, there’s no reason for you not be aware of some of the ways that a person might cheat so that if the situation ever arose, you could spot it. In real life poker, that means looking out for table talk and shady dealing. In online poker, it usually means finding players that act like bots or searching for strange occurrences that happen too often to be a coincidence.
No matter if you’re playing real life or online, if you think someone is cheating, your best bet is to find another room. Then, report the potential cheater if there’s an authority you can do so.

Cheat (also known as Bullshit, B.S., Bluff, or I Doubt It[3]) is a card game where the players aim to get rid of all of their cards.[4][5] It is a game of deception, with cards being played face-down and players being permitted to lie about the cards they have played. A challenge is usually made by players calling out the name of the game, and the loser of a challenge has to pick up every card played so far. Cheat is classed as a party game.[4] As with many card games, cheat has an oral tradition and so people are taught the game under different names.
Rules[edit]
One pack of 52 cards is used for four or fewer players; five or more players should combine two 52-card packs. Shuffle the cards and deal them as evenly as possible among the players. No cards should be left. Some players may end up with one card more or less than other players. Players may look at their hands.
A player's turn consists of discarding one or more cards face down, and calling out their rank - which may be a lie.[6]
The player who sits to the left of the dealer (clockwise) takes the first turn, and must call aces. The second player does the same, and must call twos. Play continues like this, increasing rank each time, with aces following kings.[6]
If any player thinks another player is lying, they can call the player out by shouting 'Cheat' (or 'Bluff', 'I doubt it', etc.), and the cards in question are revealed to all players. If the accused player was indeed lying, they have to take the whole pile of cards into their hand. If the player was not lying, the caller must take the pile into their hand. Once the next player has placed cards, however, it is too late to call out any previous players.[6]
The game ends when any player runs out of cards, at which point they win.
Variants[edit]
- A common British variant allows a player to pass their turn if they don’t wish to lie or if all the cards of the required rank have clearly been previously played.
- Some variants allow a rank above or below the previous rank to be called.[6] Others allow the current rank to be repeated or progress down through ranks instead of up.[6]
- Some variants allow only a single card to be discarded during a turn.
- In some variations a player may also lie about the number of cards they are playing, if they feel confident that other players will not notice the discrepancy. This is challenged and revealed in the usual manner.[6]
- In another variant, players must continue placing cards of the same rank until someone calls 'Cheat' or everyone decides to pass a turn.
International variants[edit]
The game is commonly known as 'Cheat' in Britain and 'Bullshit' in the United States.[6]
Mogeln[edit]
The German and Austrian variant is for four or more players and is variously known as Mogeln ('cheat'), Schwindeln ('swindle'), Lügen ('lie') or Zweifeln ('doubting').[7] A 52-card pack is used (two packs with more players) and each player is dealt the same number of cards, any surplus being dealt face down to the table. The player who has the Ace of Hearts leads by placing it face down on the table (on the surplus cards if any). The player to the left follows and names his discard as the Two of Hearts and so on up to the King. Then the next suit is started. Any player may play a card other than the correct one in the sequence, but if his opponents suspect him of cheating, they call gemogelt! ('cheated!'). The card is checked and if it is the wrong card, the offending player has to pick up the entire stack. If it is the right card, the challenger has to pick up the stack. The winner is the first to shed all their cards; the loser is the last one left holding any cards.[8]
Verish' Ne Verish'[edit]
The Russian game Verish' Ne Verish' ('Trust, don't trust') - described by David Parlett as 'an ingenious cross between Cheat and Old Maid'[9] - is also known as Russian Bluff, Chinese Bluff or simply as Cheat.
The game is played with 36 cards (two or three player) or 52 (four or more). One card is removed at random before the game and set aside face-down, and the remainder are dealt between players (even if this results in players having differently sized hands of cards).[9]
The core of the game is played in the same manner as Cheat, except that the rank does not change as play proceeds around the table: every player must call the same rank.[9]
Whenever players pick up cards due to a bluff being called, they may – if they wish – reveal four of the same rank from their hand, and discard them.[10]
In some variants, if the player does not have any of the rank in their hand, they may call 'skip' or 'pass' and the next player takes their turn. If every player passes, the cards on the table are removed from the game, and the last player begins the next round.[citation needed]
Canadian/Spanish Bluff[edit]
Similar to Russian Bluff, it is a version used by at least some in Canada and known in Spain. The rules are rather strict and, while a variation, is not open to much variation. It is also known in English as Fourshit (single deck) and Eightshit (double deck), the game involves a few important changes to the standard rules. Usually two decks are used[6] instead of one so that there are 8 of every card as well as four jokers (Jokers are optional), though one deck may be used if desired. Not all ranks are used; the players can arbitrarily choose which ranks to use in the deck and, if using two decks, should use one card for each player plus two or three more. Four players may choose to use 6,8,10,J,Q,K,A or may just as easily choose 2,4,5,6,7,9,J,K, or any other cards. This can be a useful way to make use of decks with missing cards as those ranks can be removed. The four jokers are considered wild and may represent any card in the game.
The first player can be chosen by any means.[11] The Spanish variation calls for a bidding war to see who has the most of the highest card. The winner of the challenge is the first player. In Canada, a version is the first player to be dealt a Jack face up, and then the cards are re dealt face down.
The first player will make a 'claim' of any rank of cards and an amount of their choice. In this version each player in turn must play as many cards as they wish of the same rank.[6] The rank played never goes up, down nor changes in any way. If the first player plays kings, all subsequent players must also play kings for that round (it is non-incremental). Jokers represent the card of the rank being played in each round, and allow a legal claim of up to 11 of one card (seven naturals and four jokers).[12] A player may play more cards than they claim to play though hiding cards under the table or up the sleeve is not allowed. After any challenge, the winner begins a new round by making a claim of any amount of any card rank.
If at any point a player picks up cards and has all eight natural cards of a certain rank, he declares this out loud and removes them from the game. If a player fails to do this and later leads a round with this rank, he or she automatically loses the game.
Once a player has played all his or her cards, he or she is out of that particular hand. Play continues until there are only two players (at which point some cards have probably been removed from the game). The players continue playing until there is a loser. The object of the game is not so much to win, but not be the loser. The loser is usually penalised by the winners either in having the dishonour of losing, or having to perform a forfeit.
China/Iranian Bullshit[edit]
In the Fujian province, a version of the game known as 吹牛 ('bragging') or 说谎 ('lying') is played with no restriction on the rank that may be called each turn, and simply requiring that each set is claimed to be of the same number.
On any given turn, a player may 'pass' instead of playing. If all players pass consecutively, then the face-down stack of played cards is taken out of the game until the next bluff is called. The player who previously called a rank then begins play again. [6]
This version, also sometimes called Iranian Bullshit,[13] is often played with several decks shuffled together, allowing players to play (or claim to play) large numbers of cards of the same rank.[6]
Sweden[edit]
Known as bluffstopp (a portmanteau of bluff ('bluff') and stoppspel ('shedding game'.)) Players are given six (or seven) cards at the start of the game, and the remainder makes a pile. Players are restricted to follow suit, and play a higher rank, but are allowed to bluff. If a player is revealed to be bluffing, or a player fails to call or a bluff, the player draws three cards from the pile.
Additional rules and players to play more than one card in secret, and drop cards in their lap. But if this is discovered, the player must draw three or even six cards.
