Hodge Podge

Highly unethical poker move #1: If playing at a formal setting such as a casino or organized tournament, here is a little trick that may dupe an asshole into dumping all of his chips to you. The only fault of this technique is that you need to have the nuts and you need your foolish foe to bet into you (I know... doesn't happen so often). Once he has made his bet, stare at him and act as though you know you are beat. Then loudly exclaim "you have the nuts again, huh? You just bet that little amount cause you want me to go all-in, didn't you?" As you say this, emphasize the all-in part and "accidently" knock your chips towards the middle. For those not familiar with official rules, your verbal declaration as well as physical movement of the chips would require an all-in bet or at least the amount you knocked forward. An accomplice to inform the sucker of this fact would be nice here. Then of course you protest this decision loudly, perhaps even making a threat. In the end however, angrily agree to the all-in, perhaps even acting as though you are about to leave. Ideally the chump betting into you with his top pair or whatever he has will call your bet, and will realize that you have been playing him like your little puppet all along. Worth a shot.

Borat update: It appears that Ali G's buddy Borat was not actually filming for HBO when he almost got himself lynched a while back. He actually was filming a faux documentary film that is now in limbo due to the director quitting over this little debochle.

Lastly, talk about a Lunchpail type NFL player!
