Poker Cheats
Are you worried, just a little bit, about cheating in Poker? Do you get a little cautious when playing at the casino against 2 guys who seem to know each other? Or, the guy that just seems unconscious with his reads? Do you scratch your head sometimes when playing on-line and a player pops into your short handed table for like 4 hands, wins 2 of them, and then leaves?
Yea, me either!
We'll the following article might give you a little bit of a reason to pause. Card sharks to battle computer at poker How much more realistic does on-line poker robots seem now?
Then, there's this. High-tech poker scam bilks casinos of $500K - The only thing wrong with this picture is that the reporters think the casinos lost $500k. The casino's lost nothing. They kept raking every pot. This $500k came out of the pockets of the other 9 players sitting around the table.
I'd like to recommend an excellent read for you conspiracy theorist poker players out there. Catching Poker Cheats. Head out to Barnes & Noble, get a starbucks grande coffee, and browse through this one. It's not really worth buying, but it's worth $1.70 for the coffee and an hour to read it.

The PLO was kind of fun to watch. Mostly silly though. I hated the guy that won, what a jerk. He kept button limping too, and the guys in the blinds just kept rolling their eyes.
I saw this one dude at MC who was kind of cheating. Background - He had about 2 to 3 "friends" at the table. I assume they knew each other cause they always seemed to talk to each other, etc. Never called each other by their first name though.
Anyrate, everytime the guy and one of his friends was in the pot. The guy would bet big to get other people (non-friend) out of the pot and then would show his high card to his friend and say something like don't call if you can't beat this.
It was really weird cause he always showed his friends his cards before they acted. He would just flip over his cards b4 they would act. NOT TOO SURE IF THAT IS CHEATING, but seemed odd.
Most of the time the guy actually did have a hand, at least high pair.
Well, it bite him in the ass against me when he and his buddies kept trying to raise and re-raise. I had Jacks and called the 2nd raise. Flop comes another Jack. I check and watched the fireworks fly! Just as a I suspected, him and his buddy did all of the betting for me.
Much to my surprise the one guy actually had a hand, pocket aces. The other guy didn't say what he had.
