I've never cheated online or in a casino even though I've been approached by friends with the idea(by the way they never went through with it either but considered it). I did cheat one time in my life in a cash home game. This one guy was new to our game but we had known him for years and was playing games like high spade in the hole gets half the pot every time he dealt and I watched him for a couple hours stacking the deck very simply by picking up the cards from the previous deal and putting the ace of spades as the 5th card in the deck and not actually shuffling so the top 5 cards would stay the same(5 handed game). So his first card would always be the Ace of spades insuring him of half the pot. So after a couple hours he went to the bathroom and I filled in the other 3 guys what he was doing(they were all drunk and lousy cardplayers so they didn't catch on). They said, "should we kick his ass and take all his money?" I said "No I can out cheat him if you want and take his money that way and he'll never know. So every time he dealt we all folded quickly and I began stacking the deck and showed the others how to the next time he went to the bathroom and ended up taking him for most of his cash. First and last time I ever did it but have caught a bunch of people trying to cheat me over the years.
