Itds not poker when you play with two decks!!! I would never agree to playing poker with two decks... I guess at least you got your 5 bucks back plus 5 so its not a loss. Hope this helps in the future. Poker is a one deck game no matter what.

In his book, Amarillo Slim talks about cheating. He was on the road with Doyle Brunson and a few others. In those days they played in a lot of 'home games' lke you did.
He basicly says that the mark of a good poker player is knowing when you are being cheated and taking steps to win anyway.
He talks about one place where he played and like the movie Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (See it if you haven't) someone was obviously looking at their cards. So what did Amarillo and Doyle do? They opened umbrellas and played under them.
Its interesting that they didn't pick a fight, yell, cuss etc. They never even accused anyone of cheating. These things would have gotten them shot. But the umbrella thing was so unexpected, what could the host do?
Unfortunatly all poker players get cheated at some point in their lives. The fun, I believe is figuring out when you have been had and not having any more of it...or like setting a trap for an overasggressive opponant at the tab... | | Read Entire Entry |

Wow, thats an extremely stupid rule. You let them cheat away and win tons of chip...then when they are caught they pay each person one back? Wow, I would always cheat if I was playing in your game.

This is a prime reason why people need to play s people they trust that wont have a fit if they lose 20$ bucks on the night.
People who cheat have no love for the game, no respect for you/ or themselves and lack any moral standards.
Avoid these people

We faced a problem with a husband and wife cheating at their house. They were always winning using signals to each other to go all in and usually two of them would remain with one of them coming in first.
Poker is a skill but its difficult to play a strategy when pots are raised high and frequently.
Needless to say they are playing poker alone these days.

He is only 13 and the other guy was 18...i dont see the other guy splitting the prize anytime soon.
Just dont ever deal with these guys again. They did cheat you. They are douchebags and will most likely end up in jail at some point in the future. You lost $20 that you may or may not have won anyways. Chalk it up as a lesson to cut the deck every time. $20 is nothing in the long run and its well worth it for the lesson.
Take solice in the fact that they are trash and you are better than them

I don't understand the problem. You said you had AA and he had K J. You made a full boat and he only made a nut straight. Full boat beats a straight!
The only explanation i can think of is that he hit a royal flush? Although you didn't mention this. I'm confused.

Not two decks at the same time. You play with one, while someone else shuffles the other, you finish the hand, and switch. But you are likely to have someone pull a fast one on you in that situation, because you are following the action and not really watching the shuffle on the other deck.
That's why, even in heads up, you should almost always cut the deck.
