Cheating in Poker
Russ Georgiev R.I.P.1/16/1947-6/17/2009
A good friend of Russ called this morning & I told him that I had found a wonderful place that would put Russ' 4 cats into foster care until a permanent home can be found for them. ANOTHER CHANCE PET ADOPTION in Kent, WA will be trying to place all the boys together. At the very least the two 9-10 year olds who have been together since kittenhood will remain together. Dan said that Russ would have hated "flowers" but would have loved it if his friends were to donate to no-kill animal organizations, and if he could donate to the one actually taking care of Russ' cats, so much the better! And a great idea was born! Thank you, Dan! Please find the link to this wonderful sanctuary below. I was told that donations are down, so every little bit will help.
thank you.

A Love Letter To My Favorite Poker Player
After a short, but sweet, reappearance in Vegas, Russ Georgiev returned home to Seattle, celebrated his 62nd birthday and died in his sleep of a heart attack. To those of you who say, “That’s great news!” I offer this. Russ was smarter than most of the population and was able to figure things out from a very early age. He played bridge as a child and actually had his master points by age 5 ½. He was an entrepreneur at age 8 and had 7 neighborhood children in his ‘employ’ making and selling custom potholders.
I was asked the following question the other day, how did cheating in poker start? I'm a lazy individual and am not about to look up some answers how some morons thought, how did cheating in poker start.
How does anything start when cheating and gambling is concerned? I know playing cards have been around for centuries, so I must conclude cheating in cards has been around for centuries.
What's that you say? You never heard of a cheating mastermind? They have a show on TV known as Masterminds. The funny thing is, all the masterminds end up in jail, no matter what venue they try scamming or cheating.
Luckily we have the high stakes poker community, the most honest people in the world. The world of high stakes poker is so pure, not one high stakes poker cheat has ever been caught cheating. I don't know why we deal with people outside this venue, when the world of poker is filled with Saints?
The Cheating Tapes were made on May 10th, 2001 and June 9th, 2001. These Cheating Tapes are about three confessed cheats and the interviewer is Mike Caro.
The people who confessed are Russ Georgiev (a fixture in California poker since the 60s), John Martino (a fixture in Las Vegas poker since the 60s, and Bill Nirdlinger (a cheating fixture since the 70s).
Casino's and online sites always down play the amount of cheating in poker. They keep coming with the same rhetoric about cheating in poker and how it's highly exaggerated.
One thing casino's and online sites have plenty of, money. With an issue such as cheating poker, wouldn't you use your money to down play the amount? These places know they can't stop cheating in poker, so they do their best trying to negate it exists.
You can buy cheap marked cards with some minor alterations, such as a missing part of a pattern, an edge shaved so slightly, but enough to let a person see the card and know what is.
Cards such as these are usually paper cards,but can be acquired as novelty decks in plastic.
However, when stakes get higher, a different type of marked card enters the picture. We are talking about games where many hundreds and thousands are won and lost.
Q 1. Is softplaying a form of cheating?
A 1. Soft playing is like kissing your sister in many ways. It's can be construed as a form of cheating in tournaments or cheating in poker, since you're not trying to break your opponent. Soft playing occurs between friends most of the time. While it can be accepted in headsup situations in cash games, it's a form of cheating in tournaments. The reason is simple, you're not trying to eliminate or hurt the other person, which may be good for both of those involved, but not for the rest of the tournament players.
