"How can this be true? I agree that maybe the risk of running into collusion is the same in a B&M, but there is absolutely no risk in a B&M that you will be playing with someone who is wearing special X-ray vision donk-goggles that allow him to see through the back of the cards and know the hole cards of everyone else at his table. That is a completely different level of a "crooked game." "
Um look at this dude...

crooks in England made +-$500 000 using a sleeve cam that was able to see everyones hole cards as they were dealt.
So B&M isnt that much safer IMO.
Apologies 4 being off topic again

As far as I can tell, this was some kind of table game, not poker played against other players. I guess I will revise my initial qualifier from "absolutely no risk" to "only an infinitessimally small risk" that you will be playing at a B&M with James Bond and his camera crew monitoring everyone elses hole cards. I'll take my chances in the B&M.
