A poker player going by the name of \u201cSkillsrocks\u201d has been called out for continuously peeking at his opponent\u2019s cards during a Hustler Casino Live stream Wednesday. The player, since identified on poker forums as Julio Cedillo, is also accused of colluding with another player by kicking him under the table.<\/p>\n

Cedillo\u2019s antics went unnoticed by casino management and commentators but were later spotted by eagle-eyed viewers, who took to the forums to express their disgust.<\/p>\n

As \u201ccheating\u201d scams go, this one was pretty unsophisticated. Cedillo arrived at the table in a light pink designer jogging suit and a baseball cap on backward. He proceeded to draw even more attention to himself with his brash table talk.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Hustler Casino later said in an official statement Thursday that Cedillo had \u201cacknowledged what he did was unethical, and he has accepted our decision to not welcome him back.\u201d<\/p>\n

Playing Footsie<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Seated to Cedillo\u2019s immediate left was a player named in the stream only as \u201cBarry,\u201d who was the victim of Cedillo\u2019s questionable antics. To Cedillo\u2019s right was \u201cSo Flo Antonio,\u201d a former YouTube prankster who is apparently Cedillo\u2019s friend.<\/p>\n

\n

Throughout the stream, Cedillo appears to peek at Barry\u2019s cards when he squeezes them up. Sometimes he cranes his neck to get a better look. At one point he even moves Barry\u2019s sunglasses to a different position on the table to get a clear view.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This is how Cedillo knows, during a three-way pot between Barry, Antonio, and himself, that Barry made a straight-on turn. Antonio has top pair with his A-4 and, first to act, is reaching for chips. At this point, Cedillo apparently kicks Antonio under the table to warn him not to bet.<\/p>\n

Antonio doesn\u2019t get the hint and asks at least twice, \u201cWhy are you kicking my foot?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Antonio bets. Cedillo has two-pair. He gives it some \u201cHollywood\u201d and folds.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s an unusual play in this spot for a loose player. Unless, of course, you happen to know the player to act behind you has the nuts.<\/p>\n

Barry eventually wins a $19,440 pot from the hapless Antonio, and he probably should have left the game right there.<\/p>\n

Rubbing It In <\/strong><\/h2>\n

But he doesn\u2019t. On least three more occasions, Cedillo appears to peak at Barry\u2019s cards, and this enables him to bluff his opponent out of big pots.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s not Cedillo\u2019s style to do it quietly. On each occasion, he rubs Barry\u2019s face in it, slapping his cards face up on the table, before getting up from the table and showboating around the room.<\/p>\n

Later, some poker forum posters pointed out that seeing an opponent\u2019s hole cards, although unethical, is not technically cheating. Instead, it is the responsibility of each individual player to ensure their cards cannot be seen by an opponent.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Collusion at the poker table is cheating, plain and simple, although this would imply that at least two parties were aware of a conspiracy, of which Antonio appeared to be blissfully ignorant.<\/p>\n

Whether Cedillo is technically guilty of cheating or not, people are now going to think twice about sitting down with him for a game of cards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
