Poker Cheats: The Mechanics Grip
Many players have learned how to successfully cheat at the game
of poker. One such cheating method is mastering the art of
stacking the deck. To master this skill one has to be good with
sleight of hand. This is done by a special way of holding the
deck of cards that allows the deck to be manipulated, or
stacked, one of these special ways is called the Mechanic's Grip.
To help you better understand this cheat, pick up a deck of
cards as if you were getting ready to deal. You will probably be
holding the deck in the palm of your hand, with your thumb on
top of the cards, and your other four fingers on the side of the
deck. When dealing cards, you use your thumb to push one card
onto the tips of your other four fingers. The thumb is then used
to hold this card in place, until your thumb and pointer finger
of the opposite hand grabs it and deals the card out. Many poker
players deal this way, even though they probably have not
noticed it or put much thought into it.
To form the Mechanic's Grip, move your pointer finger and middle
fingers to the short side of the deck, farthest away from
yourself. With this grip, more of the deck is covered by your
hand, making it harder for the other players to see what you are
doing. This grip is the basis for many cheats, such as peeking
(the dealer will either push one corner, or side of the top
card, away from the rest of the deck so that he can see the top
card), bottom dealing (dealing the from the bottom of the deck
instead of the top), and second dealing (dealing the second card
in the deck instead of the top card, usually when the dealer
wants the top card for his own hand). By using the peek, the
dealer will be able to keep track of what cards each player
gets, he can also setup his own hand by combining the peek with
second dealing. Knowing what cards the other player has in his
hand gives the dealer an advantage when playing his own hand,
because he will know what cards he needs to beat the hands of
the other players.
In another version of the Mechanic's Grip, the deck is held with
the thumb on the top, the pointer finger around the front edge,
the pinky around the back edge, and the two middle fingers under
the bottom of the deck.
Using this cheat can be very effective for the dealer, as it can
definitely help him stack the cards in his favor.
