 | | Cheating in poker (Any of various card games in which players bet that they hold the highest-ranking hand) is more common than most people care to believe. |
 | | Cheating can be done either by means of collusion, sleight-of-hand (such as bottom dealing, stacking the deck, switching cards etc), or the use of cheating gaffs (such as marked cards, holdout (The act of hiding playing cards in a gambling game so they are available for personal use later) devices, glims etc). |
 | | A cheat may bend the entire deck so as to reveal where the cut was, so that his confederate sitting to his left may undo the cut or he may do so himself should the appropriate distraction present itself. |
