Spotting cheats: Working list of methods (6 Viewers)

Here's one that's unique to dealer's choice games:

Rule Shorting

This happens when the person calling the game attempts to gain information before establishing all the rules.

For example, someone begins dealing a 7 Card Stud variant and takes his time explaining while he deals, such that he doesn't declare it's high-low or doesn't say what the betting limits will be until some or all of the door cards are already visible.

Or someone deals all the hole cards in a flop game and starts peeling his own before he declares whether the game will play by Hold'em or Omaha rules, how many boards there will be, or any other features of the game.

This would also apply to any rules that a player attempts to "clarify" mid-hand, while he's still in the hand.

Obviously a tough one because this kind of thing can happen by honest mistake, which serves as great cover for people who might use it to cheat.
