If a sucker is born every minute, 525,600 are brought into the world every year, plus 1,440 in a leap year. To keep you from being one of them, A. D. Livingston shows you how to recognize and deal with cheats by offering the most complete, detailed, and up-to-date descriptions of the techniques cheaters use when gambling.
From the eyeing of marked cards, false shuffles, and shifty cuts, Catching Poker Cheats helps to inform the uninformed who would otherwise be susceptible to hustlers and con artists. Livingston also delves into the new world of online poker and poker tournaments, and explains why he considers bridge to be the world's most crooked card game, why blackjack is a dealer's game, and why you should never play gin rummy for large stakes in the presence of kibitzers. Catching Poker Cheats offers tips on keeping these and other popular games honest.
Filled with practical information, Catching Poker Cheats is also laced with entertaining anecdotes that help drive its lessons home, and help reveal the diversity, ingenuity, and mystique of a profession that thrives on human gullibility.
Includes a chapter on online poker.

How we describe the condition of our books
We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)
New: Exactly as it says.
As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.
Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.
Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.
Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.
Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
