Do you: Ever wonder if you have been cheated at poker? Have any idea how much it goes on? Know about collusion, sleight-of-hand, marked cards and chip dumping? Cheating in poker is more common than people care to believe. Although most cheating occurs in private games that do not follow strict gaming procedures, it is also common in regulated card rooms, casinos and even online. There are many ways to cheat, some subtle, some not so subtle. Richard Marcus knows about them all. Ten years ago poker was a minority interest. The advent of online play has changed all that - poker is now big business. Millions of players play every day, both live and online. If you are one of them you will want to ensure that the games you play in are clean. This book will tell you how cheaters operate, what methods they use and how to spot them.
