Re: Richard Marcus\' Dirty Poker
Gotta love sensational reporting. We'll see if Marcus's book will reveal anything new on March 15th.
Since I live in Seattle, what do Vegas gamblers think of this guy? On his website it says:
[ QUOTE ]
Upon arriving in Las Vegas he supported himself solely through legitimate gambling. However, Richard soon found himself broke and homeless, living under a highway overpass. In dire straights, he sought gainful employment in the only industry he had knowledge of, becoming a Blackjack and Baccarat dealer. Armed with experience on both sides of the tables, Richard met his mentor to be, Joe Classon. In his early twenties, Richard embarked on his career as a professional casino cheater... Richard lacks any traditional education to boast of because he was too busy gambling and hustling to ever have had the time to go to school.

I get the impression that this guy is not a good gambler. Instead of working hard, or lacking ability, he learned to cheat. In other words, this guy is a hack. However, he is smart enough to write books. Not a bad idea, I suppose.
