     depends where you are playing

     casinos tend to change decks every so offten but yes you can do it however if you do it and are caught there are then you are done for

    so yes you can but its not worth it

    Yes it's possible, and sometimes it happens, and it is a scummy move to gain an advantage by deception rather than from skill.

    If it is noticed, the deck gets changed, and if I noticed someone doing it I'd make sure they were banned from the cardroom.

    Don't be a douche.

    Hi mate,

    I have 6 spade decks into one as a spare set, any time a card is noticed to be marked or damaged it is replaced.

    Ahh I see, so because other people do it, it makes to perfectly acceptable for you to do it then? Well, in that case, I better head out to find some children to abuse, and sell the images on the internet for 'loads of money', because you gotta be ruthless eh kidda?

    obviously it's possable in theory.

    But when you break it down, you would need to mark the cards so much that you could see the marking from over the table or while it's in transit from the dealer to the player. But not so much where they can notice and smash your face in.

    So it is probably not possable really to dent the cards to cheat.

    It happened at this years WSOP during the $50,000 Poker Player’s Championship, a marked ace was found.

    I'm not sure if I can post a link to other poker sites here, but if you google '2010 wsop marked card' you'll get the whole story.

    People have been marking cards since poker began.

    In a Licensed venue, if caught, the usual punishment is a life ban from all Casinos in the same ownership. (In my view, a Life ban is not long enough).

    Unlicensed Venues don't tend to take it as seriously, which is why I rarely frequent them, & also advise others not to.

    Most reasonably balanced individuals know where to draw the line as to pushing the rules to the very limit to gain advantage, but a few go beyond, & those who mark cards can never be defended. Note that only bad, or losing players, ever attempt it.

    There is quite a difference between "ruthless" & "cheating". At our level, we play the game for fun, & anyone who even contemplates cheating really needs to quit poker, & go see a shrink. I've always struggled to comprehend what satisfaction a player derives if he succeeds or wins by cheating.

    Remember watching a programme (not too long ago) where the cards were being marked as they were being made......think it was in South Africa. Scary Stuff.
