I always wish that there would be a popular cheating and card playing like seasonal show. I'm always torn since I don't really want a lot being reveled. I would like to see maby someone who cheated in back rooms across the U.S. and maby it could culminate with this guy cheating in a large poker tounry. ive always wanted a rounders 2 movie. maby where worm gets a job deal in vegas where the know well known matt dameon has to deal with if he wants to work again with worm in the ultra high stakes, both in the money and the life and death aspect.
you can fool all of the people some of the time and some of the people all the time but never all of the people all the time.

I saw some show on the discovery channel about some people that used to cheat at casinos back in the day before they had video cameras... it was horrible.. it was this girl that was doing cooler moves mostly, and they showed what seemed like it was going to be a muck. they said she was a professional card cheat... yea right, maybe a professional but her skills sucked. to get a card in a gamblers cop at a table she had to use two hands. I saw that and was just thinking...what a disgrace to card cheats... so I can tell you... I DON'T want to see that one. I know ortiz has been in some tv shows on exposing poker cheats, I'd like to see those again. I think I saw some way back when I was younger, but I didn't know who he was...be nice to see that again.

Yeah the history channel usually has some good stuff. there breaking vegas series is usually very good.

Funny you should say that....when I was a teenager and used to go to magic conventions I used to play poker with my fellow magicians. The idea was to cheat each other WOTHOUT GETTING CAUGHT. If you were caught you were kicked out of the pot and lost your money for that round.

It was fun for a while until you realize that 80-90% of working a games is the psycology and if you KNOW someone is cheating, you are likely to catch them mainly because of the tells, etc.

I don't think a TV show like that would be too entertaining in my opinion..because the idea wore thin for us and we like magic and sleight of hand and we also got bored.

usually the session transformed into a working session on technique.
