Cheating Incident In A Home Game 

What would you do in this situation to help to mitigate the issue?

High as balls, folding out if turn, yelling out her cards. Not hearing her correctly. Epic

This guy should get his own detective show.

Plot twist: This dude was not even playing poker, he was in a cow pasture talking to a pack of raccoons and a turtle.

This is great.. just gets better and better, starting with the "and btw I was high as F"

I would have just been like "Oh you have A3? Is it suited? What suits?" lol

Please make sure your callers have an I.Q. over 70. It makes it better for the listeners. Ty

High as balls? Is that GTO?...

The thumbnail is epic hahah. Love the content Bart! I've learned the most about cash strategy from your shows, so thanks man.

Key piece of information...this is my FIRST time at a home game that's been running for five years...sit down shut up and since you see this crap going on play out the night passively and the just don't go back...the end... especially if you don't know the people at the table you just never know what's up offend someone and it just might not end well.

So long story short im hight as F and im not even playing poker! I was in my bathtub yelling at my electric toothbrush about collusion.

I always wondered what happens after a guy comes on here and trashes a guy then sees him again after villain has heard the show himself.

Omfg this was the best christmas gift callin EVER. when he said how it ended up with the three and the queen tangent........oh jesus man. Laughed out loud and long man. Keep dabbin garret!

This callers a legend... oh and by the way I was high as balls

Plot twist; hero so high he is just hearing the maskies speak when they aren't

I had an acquaintance who happened to be a "Mechanic" show me a how easy it is to deal off the bottom and how to set up a deck. He told me what he was going to do and I still couldn't see it. For this and a few other reasons,,, I Don't play Home Games. Poker is hard enough without me worrying if I'm being cheated.

Omg I actually laughed so hard when he said it was Ace Queen.

This reminds me of the situation I faced in casinos a couple of times. Probably most players have. The player next to me was either very inexperienced or drunk or both. He would pick his cards up completely off the table to a degree where I could not avoid seeing them. When players do this, I let them know that I can see their cards and suggest that they protect them better. But some players simply don’t or they do a better job for a few hands and then revert to their usual pattern. Of course when that happens, I have information that I’m not supposed to have and that the rest of the table doesn’t have.I’ve never been completely certain how to deal with that.

"What should I have done next?"....Move to the left of them

LOL LOL that is the best stories you put on the air?! I should call the show. I probably have a hundred stories that will easily top that

bart expanding into seinfeld territory a video about nothing :)

I am tilted no wait just high

I love how Bart thought it was hilarious that Garrett was high as balls!

Wtf. Funniest call in ever

Am I the only one that gets the sarcastic title. Funny shit!

True he had info others did not have ...he must tell everyone immediately

This dude fucking kills me hahaha

BART. Reminds me of a couple of Slavic origin were colluding in a game speaking foreign language. At the Borgata circa 2005. Mixed hold'em omaha. But they were Soooo BAD that the other players by tacit acceptance allowed it to go on. They allways lost.

If this was a casino, you would say goodbye to hidden fees??? 🤣🤣🤣 It literally popped up with an ad that cut you off and said, "Say goodbye to hidden fees" lmao

This guy just does NOT LISTEN! 😖😖

Sounds like Caesars during high hand promos from locals (they were drawing for 10k seats with quads) seemed like all the locals were telling where they were at when having PP ..

Merry Christmas fam

Voice a bit like Hoyt Corkins. Hilarious he misheard her cheating!

Bart, you are above the shocked looking thumbnails man

Lmaoooo what a call

How you address this may be the most important thing. Asking the speaker if they intended for others to hear may be an option, as it reveals if the speaker cares if everyone hears, and clears a path for proprietor to address issue.

I'm confused. He misunderstood what she said plus he is high. Are we even sure he heard them collude about the hand??? She could have said are we going to Arbys or McDonalds after the game for all we know now... geez... lol. Merry Christmas everyone.

High as balls = extreme paranoia

"ass load of callers"

Dude wrote Bart “should I fold quad 6s, villain might have quad Qs” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Bart's reaction at 13:35 lol

Male female couple - must be in Asheville

Fucking love this dude 😂😂😂

Another relevant question is whether there is rake in the game. If there is rake then the people taking the rake have more of a duty to keep the game straight.

what a fucking boss when this guy said "I just heard her say she has A3" what a boss

Because it's a home-game, I think a little restraint was justified. Maybe you let it play out and *between* hands ask the table whether the girlfriend announcing her hand bothers them. That's a more subtle way to apply pressure, without being confrontational.

Setting southerners back another hundred years

Not a hard issue to resolve. Immediately (and politely) say "hey guys, we can hear you. Please no table talk." It will almost certainly stop immediately. If not, call them out in front of everyone. There is no defense to what they are doing after a warning.

Which brings me to my next point. kids....don't smoke crack!!!

You don't go to the person running the game. You casually say it in front of the entire table. Something like, "hey guys, you can't talk about your hand when the game is still going on." You don't call them out and say "cheaters!!!" But you just give them a heads up. She very well may not know the proper etiquette. Let her know, but don't embarrass her.

Caller=High AF then and during this call. :)

I don't think anyone ever asked how good or bad are these two ? If they're fish I guess I wouldn't even really care.

this is hilarious

I understand why the other "dealer" says the caller may be colluding with them because he is building a pot at the expense of all other players.....

Also love the thumbnail with Bart's "No Fucking Way" face - is that photoshop?

cheating goes on in home games all the time, there was a guy in our local game who used to keep one card hidden somewhere and he had 3 cards to make a hand and we wondered why he won all the time until he was busted.

This is why I never smoke pot while I’m playing poker lol

This f'n guy lol

In the future, please lead with, " I was high as balls." Bart, JS you gotta use that clickbait SON..... lol I only wish I had a home game that was good enough that I could print while tripping balls.

This guy doesn't seem too bright i wonder if she said something totally different and this bozo made this up in his head

Just walk away and tell the proprietor on your way out. All they need to do is put them on seats 1 and 9.

Garrett, where in NC?

"And this is where the high as balls comes in" hahahahahahaha Classic. They are either colluding he is high as balls. Really, she said "I need a drink." Lol. This is great. Title should be what to do when you're high and think people are colluding....but they probably aren't.

Thinking about how the caller misheard "A3" makes me think this could be the set up for a short con. The narrative of a good con often involves "accidents" that makes the mark think they have an edge when in reality they do not. For instance, what if the couple waits for a big pot, let's someone "accidentally" overhear their hand on a big pot. You think you have them beat because the board misses A3. You go all in only to find out they could make a set of 6s. You can't call them out on it, because they would have to admit you were trying to cheat them. You also have to blame yourself because you "misheard" A6 as A3. You don't even know they were conning you. This specific hand may not be the best example, but the key thing about a con is that the victim has to think that they are the one cheating somebody else. And the con artists could create the perfect situation for someone to try to cheat them - the incentive of a big pot, the opportunity of "knowing" their cards, and the rationalization that they probably deserve it because of the way they have been table talking the whole night. I'm not saying I think that's what's going on here. In all probability, they are just jerks with bad manners. But it does seems odd that they would say A3 when they had A6.

YES SIR !

Garrett right after the Robbi incident: 0:00

Sure beats "Jessie The Suit"

lmao thats how we do it in NC

Postle has a girlfriend?

I couldn't listen too that guy for another minute.

I run into a few cheaters in Texas . One was a famous lawyer who got cheating at madhouse poker club in Austin .another was a Vietnamese dealer named Con . I had a husband and wife working together I called them out I was uninvited from then. I was at the black Phillipino ghey game in harker heights I had a guy steal some of my green chips he pretending to be drunk and fell on my chip stack . Another Texas poker ripoff is the rake . Sometimes they rake every street so 10 pre flop 10 on the flop 10 on the turn 10 on the River plus take a green chip 25 and make change give back only 10 or 15 in red to the pot . There is one thing in Texas I wish the poker world would adopt its the concept of poker insurance . If you would like to discuss poker insurance I need 20 min.

Maybe the moral here is "don't smoke weed and go play poker" haha.

She actually might have said I have a three making it look like she’s telling her husband. She has a three so people can hear so she can call in Win, so she’s angle shooting

I hear ya Bart but that paranoia goes away after you smoke several times.... Then your just very comfortable... Just my experience lol

If she's saying what hand she has, and I can hear it, I'm not saying a word and I'm going to relieve her of her bankroll.

You have to announce that right away. And how do you know action is not on you? If you’re in the 7 seat and the action is on the 4 seat! Oh brother.

Don't say anything,you may have an advantage.

I was cheated by a couple in a local chicago area casino. The couple in question always sat next to each other in live games but stunk so nobody cared. But when the casino offered tournaments suddenly they crushed it. I was in a tourney vs elaine and ken was sitting behind her. On the bubble I bet allin and she was thinking. He was behind her looking at her cards and he told her-"you cant fold" she called and i lost. then I made a yelp review and got banned from the casino.

Bart can you be my dad?

The only question that maters: was she hot?

geez that's 16 minutes Ill never get back. People don't play cards on meth!

call ins must be weak if this one made the cut - I guess I learned something from the call - call it out in casino and home games are nuance - some high as balls guy - who the hell knows what really happened lol

Did the caller have the players covered?

Calls are getting ridiculous Hard to listen to lately honestly He asks what should I have done nexts at 6:09. How about why did he play one more hand after the hand where she says you may as well call now after he was apparently pot committed He kept playing He knew the circumstances He’s the fish and that’s why the game goes the way it does Cuz of guys like the caller Sorry but the calls really just a waste of time

Or she could be angling here. She said A-3 to make her hand appear weaker

Colluding no, cheating yes!

Saw jungle?

Just announce earlier in the game that if you two are discussing hands you need to stop

I play online and a lot of players use "420" in their screen names. Their play usually reflects as much as well. As far as this situation, the host or dealer just needs to explain to the lady the rules of play and carry on. Probably a mindless comment is all.

If she is telling me what her cards are, I’m happy to play her all day

Hillbilly hell

IMPORTANT QUESTION. Is the caller's "high AS balls" the same as Bart's "high OFF my balls"?

The problem with home games is that soft play and collusion are usually the norm. Maybe the weed caused the caller to have heightened sense and he was able to hear what no one else heard. And of course the atmosphere of a home game during the pandemic is going to be made up of degens that don’t care about a little soft play. I mean maybe the game breaks if you have 8 barts there but w random NC degens I would bet nothing short of the place being on fire would stop that game.

Why would you share this story when your local crew knows your voice?

Dont think him being high actually mattered this happens every so often when people r smucks

Lol I can tell you thousands of instances people cheating in a house game. Not proud of it but I've been a part of it I seen it all

Oh I forgot this is for $5 no doubt

It's a Home 🏡 Game where it's like 20$ per a game ... [5] year long game their not dropping 100s or 1,000s in right... Just Snap out that others are cheating but don't keep playing cards with Dirty players or Hands... exposed but keep it friendly if it's a 5 year game 🎮....

One solution is to force the couple to site on opposite ends of the table.

I don't get how this one made the cut. I would say something right away. If they didn't I would cash out and leave.
