Looks are Deceptive!Is that true for Rummy too?

'A game of honour and dignity or a game of cheat and trickster'

below are few slides which will help you in understanding, if you are playing with a

trickster or a game of decorum.

Understanding all about marked cards

Mostly referred as one of the most common rummy cheats, this technique is

mostly used by amateurs, it can start from bending the corners to marking them in some different manner. To catch this cheat just make

sure you are paying attention to your cards and

deck and in case of an imperfection you have a

replacement deck on hand.

Introducing technology

Specially marked cards also known as luminous marked

cards are quite ‘in’ these days, but while the original luminous system was quite

detectable new ultra-luminous technology is more sophisticated and cards can only be read wearing special

contact lenses or sunglasses.

Bringing in one extra

Also known as palming, in this technique player

holds or conceal one card as reserve from the deck (unseen by the audience)

until the same is required.

Signaling

There is only one way to beat this long

following cheat, which is to keep your playing cards close to you and not let anybody have a

look.

Wizard sleeve method

Became quite popular in mid 70’s and 80’s century, many tools were invented to help players win more, and the only thing they had to take care of was

remembering which card they have stashed.

Use of cold deck

This cheat of using a "stacked" deck is one method which is mostly followed

by casinos and game centers.

Getting into agreement with your partner

This method is all about getting into

agreement with your partner, and turning cheating into charm.

And for all this all they need is a great

method of communication.

Minimal - skill method

It's not always that you need a method or a technique to cheat

your opponent, sometimes all you

need is the nerve and determination.
