The Top Hand
"The easiest way to cheat is to cheat with somebody," says Annie Duke, a pro card player and the second highest female money winner at the World Series of Poker. The "top hand" method of fleecing the unsuspecting is to play in cahoots with someone at the table. You signal your partner to figure out which one of you has the better hand. The one with the weaker hand folds, and the other stays in the game. Basically you're sharing the same pot of cash and screwing the rest of the table.

Holding Cards Out
Do this right and you're worthy of the title cardsharp. If the ace of spades shows up in a hand that otherwise sucks, slip the ace up your sleeve before throwing down your hand. "I've seen people hold out like you'd never know," Duke says. But do this in a casino and expect to have your head squeezed in a vise till your eyeballs pop. Casinos change colored decks every half hour, and the dealer counts the cards often.

Short the Pot
Those of you who steal tips off bars and shortchange Girl Scouts will do well on this one. When you ante up, hold back a chip. Remember to throw the chips into the pile in the center, preventing anyone from counting them. Throwing chips onto the table is called splashing the pot and, of course, is illegal in casinos.

The Cold Deck
This one requires steady hands. Have a stacked deck on your lap, with the cards arranged to give everyone a decent hand and you the best. After shuffling the deck in your hand, switch it with the "cold deck" on your lap. This works only if the decks match or if the rest of the table is so blitzed, they wouldn't catch on if you'd dealt them stale potato chips.
