So in the game of poker, cheating is when a player uses any dishonest or unfair methods to gain an advantage over the other players. Some examples of cheating include:

1. Collusion: This is when two or more players secretly work together to increase their odds of winning. They might share information about their cards or use signals to communicate with each other.

2. Marked cards: Some sneaky players might use cards with subtle markings on them, making it easier for them to identify the value of the cards in their opponents' hands.

3. Card counting: While this isn't necessarily considered cheating in some circles, it's frowned upon in most casual games. It involves keeping track of the cards that have been played to predict which cards are likely to come up next.

4. Bottom dealing: This is when a dealer dishonestly deals cards from the bottom of the deck instead of the top, to manipulate the outcome of the game.

5. Chip dumping: In tournament play, this is when players intentionally lose chips to a specific player, usually a friend or associate, to help that player advance in the tournament.

Remember, in poker, fair play is essential, and cheating is highly discouraged. It's best to keep things above board and enjoy the game for its strategy and excitement. Cheers!
