    very good baz, i aint been too much involved with cheats in poker, there is suspects about internet and i have seen a few be dealt of the bottom of the deck at home games, but i have heard a few stories, the most funny one i heard was in the 50s, some card player walks into a casino in vegas (i think) and buys all the deck of cards in the place, a few days later his mate walks in and sits at a game, after plenty looking at the cards he demands the dealer change the deck, the dealer went and got another deck that had been sold to the casino only that morning by a salesman (mate number 3) this cards were marked, actually every deck in the house was marked, i think the figure was 1.5 mill before it got sussed, i aint sure it would work today, but in the 50s it workd a treat.

    Very interesting Burger and an intriguing story. By the way did you know that when it comes to marking cards for poker they never marked the whole deck. They would only mark a few of the key cards. Maybe Aces, Kings etc. There is nothing to be gained from marking a whole deck which is why they only marked a few. I have three marked decks which I use for Card tricks. For Magicians all the cards are marked. The markings are very subtle and obviously you cannot see them unless you know where to look. There is a good book on marked cards called HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT although primarily for Magicians it is a good read and gives a potted history of marked cards and the different ways they are marked. For Magicians some are marked and stacked which makes for very powerful card magic. I can mark my own with a system I read about and although it is great to be able to do so it is very time consuming.

    there a poker player whoes very good who used to be a magician, his name is antonio estfandieri, he does some crazy things with the chips, i watched that real hustle a while ago and they scammed the game of poker, but there was about 4 of them at a a 8 seater game and i think the dealer was involved too. but they all knew each others signals and took the game for a few quid.

    Derren Brown was banned from Casino's in London because he could count cards. I saw him on one of his TV shows once demonstrating how he can cut to any number of cards, amazing.

    i think card counting is a great skill not cheating but obviously the casino dont want a room full of card counters,, i must admit if i sat down at the game and darren brown was sat oppossite i would be paranoid.
