Have you ever caught someone cheating during a poker game,and how did you handle that situation?

I'm talking about card marking, collusion with another player, or sneaking chips - anything shady. Did you call them out right there at the table, or handle it quietly afterward? And was it in a casual home game with friends where confronting them felt super awkward, or at a casino where you could get staff involved? I imagine catching someone cheating creates this really tense moment where you have to decide whether to make a scene or let it slide. What did you end up doing?
 
Yes only at a home game though, never at a legitimate establishment
 
I can't say I have caught anyone cheating at official poker games that take place at licensed establishments, but whenever I have played poker for fun at home with family, I have experienced it. That doesn't bother me too much as it is playing for fun, but in a proper game of poker for real money, I would be completely against any kind of cheating.

I can't let anyone cheat at an official poker game without them facing the consequences. That's what I always stand against because it is more like letting evil continue.
 
I haven't caught anyone cheating when playing poker. If I ever do, I'll definitely make sure to alert the management in charge if they are not aware. It's totally wrong to cheat just because a player wants to win.

Are you talking about playing poker offline? I asked because there are times when people go as far as doing all sorts of things. After all, they aim to win in the poker game.
