You play 5♥ and have 2 losers outside of diamonds.

Your diamonds are AKxxx in hand, xxx in dummy. No squeeze. Nothing. RHO leads a small diamond. So you ruff, play a couple of other tricks and claim, showing 4 diamonds. They accept. Since it's the last board of the round, you quickly leave the table.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

I don't think this is the place to glamorise cheating.

The noob is the person pulling this stunt, not the duped opponents.

And you did not go back and correct the score when you realized you revoked?

Were there lives on the line? Does winning mean so much to you that you are willing to sell your ethics to steal a good board from otherwise honorable people?

Are you bragging how they foolishly trusted you?

I will rate you a zero on a 1 to 10 scale of integrity. You cheated trusting people to win nothing. Worse, you chuckle about how you cheated them. Worse still, you expect us to share in your chuckle.

I hope this is apocryphal. Otherwise my opinion of you has gone way down.

I'm sure you don't care, though.

I am sure this post is meant as a joke.

Everyone is taking this far too seriously.

My reliable source tells me Csaba was the victim not the culprit...

Indeed...he's obviously the noobiest.

But yeah, that was my best guess from the original post. I voted for 4 - there are times when I just "switch off" and play the cards in front of me, I certainly wouldn't notice a deliberate revoke 100% of the time when playing like that.

Hey will you please be nice to Csaba? Maybe you don't understand and/or appreciate this joke (or whatever it was) but that is no excuse for all those flames.

Ugh sorry everyone. I really was the victim. I suppose the formulation was a little ambiguous. The opps left very very quickly. It was very impressive. I actually think it's a little humorous. As long as I'm a noob and they can get away with it, I can hardly do anything but laugh about it. Perhaps I should not have posted it. I apologize to anyone who was shocked or insulted.

In which case I withdraw my comment.

Incidently, it is much funnier if you confess your scam at the time. This is one that happened to me:

I assure you that I was schocked and insulted by the person who perpetrated this scheme, not by the victim of it!
