International Signals ( poker )


A set of signals supposedly universally recognized by all thieves, allowing thieves who don't even know
each other to communicate their desire to fleece the suckers, indicate their need for particular cards, and so on.
These signals are of no use in games with sophisticated players, who are clever enough to catch on to what is going on,
and are unnecessary with "dummies," because they can be beat by good playing. Some thieves still are not clever
enough to understand these concepts, however, and you may see them in some games, particularly those in
which the management does not give its players much protection.
