Poker Strategies

I ran into Nick at the Flamingo Hotel Casino bar soon after the cheating incident and it was he who told me how he was cheated of $500,000. Nick's legal difficulties arose still later when several of his friends, knowing that he was broke at the time, took it upon themselves to try to recoup part of his losses from the cheat. The cheat had them arrested for attempted extortion. They were found guilty and each received ten years in prison. Recently the cheat met an untimely death when a hidden bomb in his automobile exploded, sending him to kingdom come.

Some writers of Online Hold'em Poker books contend that explanation of card cheating has no legitimate place in the proper study of Online Hold'em Poker games. They claim that exposure of cheating methods may teach readers to do a bit of cheating on their own. This is possible, but the disadvantage is far outweighed by the protection such exposure gives to the many thousands of honest players, and by the fact that widespread exposure makes the practice of cheating at Online Hold'em Poker more difficult for the cheat to get away with. The writers making these objections also have another reason for not discussing cheating methods in detail. They don't do so because they can't—they know so little about the subject themselves that when they copy the cheating material from Scarne on Cards or Scarne's New Complete Guide to Gambling, they garble it so badly that it misleads rather than enlightens the reader.
