Well actually I guess I've never gotten to 2. I'm slightly skeptical I've ever gotten to 1.....not completely......but I yea after the undergrounds club I'm pretty damn sure I've been treated honsetsly....and I'm pretty damn sure I wa treated honestly at the club....whatever I havenb't been there in 3 and a half years or so.

7) There is a dr. frankenstein like lever near the cage. It is clearly marked 'doom switch'

Based on the title, I was expecting something already written. We have to do your work for you?

ok I did some research and I have #1


#1 - While sitting in the game, the seven other players at the table tell you they've been rigging the game against you - they then show you how its been done, as well as video of them cheating you.

Something very simple the host could do is to remove one of the cards from the deck, and have a small edge by knowing which card is missing. Like if its the ace of clubs, he knows for sure his king high flush is good. Or if its the six of diamonds, pocket sixes aren't much good for set mining anymore. If caught, this can easily be passed off as an honest mistake, people lose cards sometimes. So if you're feeling paranoid, periodically count to make sure your home game is actually using a 52 card deck.

#3 No one bets or raises much, unless you are in the hand.

#4 You see one or more "Bad Beat Jackpot" type hands dealt in the home game. AA vs QQ flop comes A Q 5 turn 6 river Q, etc.

1) you discover the use of a pinochle deck

2) Everytime your in a hand someone remarks to someone else. "It's your turn to beat him"

3) You get dealt a pocket pair of draw four Uno cards

Not just if you're feeling paranoid, do it all the time. Cards often drop on the floor. I count down my deck before every game and several times a session.

BTW, quick tip on that... in a 9-handed game to the river, half the deck is used. Once you deal the river, count the stub. And don't count to more than 10, as you're really only interested in the leftovers. Count to 10 twice, then count to 6. (Same for when counting a full deck... you're only looking for 2 extra.) If you have more or fewer than 9 players, adjustment is easy.
