About this game
In this single-player Texas Hold’em game, you learn to cheat against your opponents using real-world methods.
Mark cards to track them later on, steal and swap cards to improve your hand, and bottom deal to improve your odds.
Outsmart a cast of unique characters, each with their own personalities and play styles, and get away with as much as you can. Just don’t get caught...
Give yourself an unfair advantage
As you progress through tournaments, you'll learn different cheating methods to tip the odds in your favor.
Does your opponent really have that Ace, or are they bluffing?
By marking cards, you can track key hands and make the right move when it matters most.
See that Ace you marked? Now you know for sure. Will you fold and wait for a better spot, or set the perfect trap to take them for everything?
Learn to see and analyze poker in a new way using real-world cheating techniques.
Make your way in a dangerous town
Hone your skills against amateur home games, then progress through increasingly difficult and dangerous tournaments.
Get invited into gangster-run tournaments, get loan sharks to fund your entries, and make a stack of cash along the way.
