Poker Cheaters
Cheating at poker has progressed over the years.
Whereas the supposed problem in the Old West was slick dealers stacking the deck
and players sliding a hidden Ace into their hand the most usual cheating today
is team play. Simply put team play can be used to run a player out with multiple
raises or raise a team mate’s big hand so he wins a bigger pot. Somewhat more
complex play is available almost exclusively on
the Internet where 3 or 4 players tell each other what they have via
phone or Internet. This allows a player to know certain things. That is, if
three guys threw away an Ace and an Ace flopped then the fourth player’s pocket
Kings is good and he knows it. That’s a bit simplistic but it shows my point.
And if you can get say 20 extra small and big bets in per session that’s $720 in
a 20-40 game going to your stack.
Which is better than “Go for your gun,
sidewinder!”
"Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them." - Karl Popper “It’s the presumption that Obama knows how all these industries ought to be operating better than people who have spent their lives in those industries, and a general cockiness going back to before he was president, and the fact that he has no experience whatever in managing anything. Only someone who has never had the responsibility for managing anything could believe he could manage just about everything.” - Thomas Sowell in Reason Magazine
