Do you: Ever wonder if you have been cheated at poker? Have any idea how much it goes on? Know about collusion, sleight-of-hand, marked cards and chip dumping?

The book covers the basic methods of cheating at poker (chip signalling, collusion, etc), and then goes on to warn the reader about the online poker game, indicating that some high-stakes games may have "hole card viewers," where one player will know the hole cards of everyone at the table. Interesting reading, but not terribly useful to a poker player (unless you want a good outline of chip signalling methods for revealing your hole cards to a partner, that is). ( )
