Confession: I cheat at card games

I roll with a crew of 5 people, we switch out on the reg, and we cheat at private poker clubs. 2 of my compatriots are so goods leger-de-main with cards, they could go on that show with Penn and Teller and fool em, the rest of us an extremely elaborate set-up to collude while playing together. Now most of the other people are also using what tricks they have, including collusion, but usually keep it in bounds to being gabby and looking for tells that way, or being silent and looking for tells, as well as varying their play stiles from aggressive, to passive according to predetermined events (thus making it random to other player). AM I a bad person for this behavior, or is it survival of the fittest. I should note this comes with serious risks to me and my partners, which for me is what makes it fun, knowing if I get caught an ass whooping is probability the least of my worries as the traditional treatment of cheaters of my particular vain is to smash their right hand with hammer. This was brought up in another thread, and thought I would just make whole thread about it. Also when covid goes away, how about a NE gathering of shroomers for poker?

I’ve cheated once or twice when playing EDH.

Poker sucks though, play a card game that takes skill and thinking.

Way to do it then! Trick shuffle, ole cards in sleeve or other innocuous space to swap out so you don't get mana fucked.

People can have many sides to their personality, I doubt you would understand, being as challenged as you are. Also, it would be impossible to manipulate numbers given the safe guards in place at my work. You can thank you're tax dollars and the FDA for that.

A lot of these private clubs let players deal, switching off each hand, thus they pay people who are experts on trick shuffles and bottom dealing and what not, and over 10 years we have never even been suspected.

We've been suspected and had to not only lose our original buy ins,but our winnings, and further lose more buy ins cause we "would win it all back" And I'm not talking a couple hundred bucks but usually in the thousands.

I was hoping you bring that up. That's early days, over 10 years ago, with a slightly different crew. One guy fucked up, we got the sign to lose all our money, and we did and walked out hale and healthy.
