There is no doubt here. He cheats. The question is actually ‘Does it really matter?’ Okay, maybe cheat is a bit strong. He counts the cards. He has a knack of knowing what your holding in your hand. If he does cheat then it has gotten to a point where it isn’t deliberate, perhaps not even conscious. Back to the question. No. I don’t play cards with my friends because I want to win.

Is is also true that losing isn’t nothing.
