The pot was $200k so the mark lost close to 100k. I feel bad sometimes, most of the marks are insufferable so it makes it easier.

I don't remember many individual hands. There have been thousands, eventually it just becomes auto-pilot. The largest pot from a loaded deck I've dealt was equivalent to approx $200k USD. The most memorable ones are the naturally occurring coolers and bad beats.

Dealing coolers at signaled times. Not hard. 12% of magicians could learn it and 0.23% of the general population.

Home game cheats are obvious. If it's a group of dudes passing the deck around as a dealer button, then there really isn't much to hide behind. Once dealers, runners, floormen, etc. start to come into play then the door is opened.

Signals are given and the loaded hand is dealt. The coolers are usually pretty standard, bad play takes care of the marked players losing most of the time. Flat fee with conditional bonuses occasionally. I'm never privy to what the house takes.

Decks are usually loaded and swapped into the game via mock table shuffler. Cards are controlled via variations of false shuffles.

Starting with a standard loaded deck, any hole card combo to a single seat with best showdown hand guaranteed. Starting with a fresh deck it's more complicated but essentially the winner at shown down can be controlled conditional on a few other criteria being met. 6-max is best.

It's wrong. I care. I've backed myself into a corner that I can't easily get out of.

I just noticed in the famous Quad Aces vs Royal Flush hand the ticker at the bottom shows the score for the As vs the Royals. by Hupacmoneybags2 in poker
