Collusion "GCA"
RussGe...@aol.com
have played professional high stakes poker for 40 years. In 2001 I went
public with two others on tapes Mike Caro made with us about the
organized cheating in poker.
The higher you play, the more organized the cheating. The most common,
effective and almost impossible type to catch is collusion. I am an
expert on this subject.
If you have played high stakes games anywhere, you're about a 99-1 to
have been cheated through collusion or other methods. The trouble with
collusion is to achieve the greatest degree of skill in the subject,
the better you must be able to play. World Class Players make the best
colluders. I am the best known poster on the News Group known as RGP or
rec.gambling.poker. I have been telling people for the last 5 years
there is no way to stop collusion. Few know how it works, so how can
they stop it?
One of it's intricacies is poker is a game of assessments, meaning
you're guessing all the time. Since collusion provides a direct
pipeline to those you work with, it's no longer a guess. You know the
right discision and how can it be questioned if you make the right one,
as you state you just decided to play the hand that way? Poker is about
making the right discisions. The better players make more good ones
than bad ones.
Now proving this is next to, if not impossible. Bets can be made
smaller, raises larger, traps can be supposedly set and laydowns are
common. Every hand contains many ways to be played and to think
everyone will agree on the proper execution is foolish.
This is why collusion is unstoppable, even online. I will post an
article Roy Cooke wrote about me less than a year ago. Roy Cooke is a
writer for Card Player Magazine.
Collusion replaced card mechanics as the modern era of cheating took
over in the 70's. Marked cards are a major weapon of collusion.
Professionally made marked cards are not detectable to the naked eye.
Special contact lenses or cameras must be worn to see the cards and the
participants are then sent the values of the cards back by an audio
receiver so small you'd have trouble looking into a persons ear and
seeing it.
This equipment is so expensive it is only used in the highest stakes
poker games in the world. Collusion leaves no evidence and would be
impossible to prove unless totally blatant. Professional collusion is
not, amateur collusion can be. At a WPT event within the last year, two
players had about 50% of each other. Amateur collusion at best, yet
many had differences of opinions. I know both parties and they ended up
1-3. To me, the collusion was blatant. If this couldn't be spotted, how
would you spot a couple of professionals?
Collusion basically works in packs, like African Hunting Dogs. Don't
expect to have two or three play against you, expect 10 or more. This
gives them the edge of having numerous combinations. yes, the money is
less, but the fluctuations are far smaller. I could discusss collusion
for hours. In fact I have written enough material to make a book from
the posts I have on RGP.
In collusion at NL or PL tables, two players are enough to get a great
advantage. In limit, three to four are needed.
I've been featured in Maximum Magine in July's Issue where I was
nicknamed the 'Online Bandit'. In 2001, the well known American TV news
show interviewed myself and another well known cheat for three days.
The story was shut down. I've been written about in different magazines
as well as writting in and old defunct one.
I was written about in a 27 page expose in the Los Angeles Times on
December 5th, 6th, and 7th of 1982. It was front page news that read
"Professional Cheaters Preying on Los Angeles Casinos". At this time,
Gardena, California was the poker capitol of the world. I along with
five others were ementioned as controlling figures in this world. I am
now 58.
My site, www.pokermafia.com contains many of the best articles that can
be fond on any site. I take and accept almost NO advertising. I know
most profesional poker layers in the world, provided they've played 10
years. I played in Paris, Germany and Austria also in the 90's.

That's about all you know, a bunch of brick layers.

The rumor I heard was that when the brick and mortar actually shows
up, he panics and runs away. Then a distant "cluck clucking" sound is
heard wafting in the distance.

Seriously though Collusion is easy. I have tried it with friends at low
level SNGs and we made huge profits with 3 of us at the 9 person table.
Online you are basically playing 3 hands at once.

Russ,
Not only are you the most annoying poster for this newsgroup, but you are
amongst the worst spellers. You're 58, that's great. Somehow, while becoming so
educated in the ways of the internet, did nobody show you the spellcheck
function? It's a neat little innovation.
Russ, do this newsgroup a favor. Put up a poll and ask the world to vote on
whether you're even relevant anymore. You cry wolf so often and back out of so
many of your own challenges, that nobody's listens.
But why would you accept a challenge now, when all your history shows is that
you repeatedly back away from them.
