from Forte in the interview...

Back in Las Vegas, Forte has told friends that he was in the wrong place at the wrong time, intimating that he was in the room with the alleged cheaters because he wanted to observe their methods and was not part of the scheme.



this is a tough sell....real sketchy

I know this might be tough to believe, but Steve Forte is considered a pioneer in gambling (specifically poker) cheating methods. He has in the past sweated known cheaters to uncover thier methods. So while it might sound bogus this is his standard operating procedure.

It will be interesting to see what comes out.

I don't see much difference between observing a crime with no intention of reporting it and being an active participant in the crime.

Luckily for the rest of us the law sees a big difference.

If he wasn't in on the prop, they would not tell him about the prop or invite him to see their equipment.

This is like telling the laws the you are just holding the drugs for a friend or that you did not know a joint was a crack house. Could be so.

I think this is about seeing the hole cards of top players to help someone else in the tournaments. You could even tap into the audio of the announcers. If they are cheating the players, they are cheating the tournament. If it was not hole cards in the tournament, it could be hole cards in the cash games with the tiny sleeve held cameras to see the dealer's cards coming off.

If not hole cards, then it would be security on safes, lock boxes, room doors. Either way, it is scary.

Wow, nice job reading the thread and repeating what has already been written as if you figured it all out. LOL

This dude sounds really sketchy. No way they let him in on this unless he is apart of the ordeal. HANG HIM!

i hope everyone of these thieving pieces of garbage get life in a 3x3x3 cage. and they get fed dog biscuits at their one and only one meal.

and they don't get to shower or shave ever. and it's cold in the winter and very hot in the summer. and no blankets or pillows. they have to sleep on the hard floor.

would serve these thieving scum bags right.

the prison guards should use a blowtorch on them.

burn in hell for cheating people!!!!
