Poker Strategy - Poker Cheating TechniquesChip DumpingChip dumping is done primarily in tournament poker but can also be used in cash play as well in certain situations. This is one of the most common forms of cheating in tournament poker. It involves two or more players basically playing together and one player who has the larger stack "transferring" their chips to their associate during the course of a hand in order to be in a position to assist him later on in the tournament. In tournaments, it is a huge edge especially on a final table if there is a player on that table who will not play hard against you and will refuse to knock you out. Imagine for just one minute how potentially destructive this tactic could be and how much of a disadvantage the other players would be at on this table. A weaker player could pass their chips to a much stronger team member giving them a greater probability of winning the tournament, this is also known as "feeding" where I come from. The basic way to play this is for the two team members to get involved with each other in a raised pot and the "feeder" to drop out of the hand irrespective of it's strength. How to spot itThis can be very difficult to spot when it is done well. You really need to pick up a pattern here by observing the same two players doing it more than once. Observing something only once is hardly proof and as long as the players are not too blatant, all you are left with is the suspicion that something did not feel right. Articles Within This Category |
