For the first time ever (and I am writing this both inebriated and fatigued) I have met a cheat at a table.
Playing poker tonight with (notice the inverted commas) ‘friends’ I noticed some foul play. A little bit of flop/turn/river peeking by way of a gin rummy peak. Very amateur, but very effective among friends all drinking and having fun.
Now… call me a hypocrite. But, I would like to think when I play an advantage it is the fault of the sucker playing someone he has never met.
Playing with friends is a wonderful time to sit back and see how good I am at cards when on the square.
How did I deal with this amateur (pukingly amateur and therefore, as an elitist I wish for him to die) cheater? Nothing. Creating bad blood among friends would not be wise. So, after informing just one close friend, I cordially left.
If he does it again however, I’ll go apeshit.
That is a technical term of course.

Well, I filmed some deals just for the hell of it and as something to post on this thing whilst my brain attempts to think of something creative and worth mentioning. 
Wahey!
At any rate, this is just a video of two bottom deals, and two greek deals. The camera is low and thus, difficult to avoid finger flash. The sound is unedited (which, as you can hear, is rather a problem on the first greek deal demonstration.)
Its not perfect, but I think its worth showcasing as way of filling space and pretty much just showing everyone out there in internet land that I do practice these things and I’m not bullshitting
Wahey!!!
Here ’tis…
