Daniel Negreanu

But when I started out as a teenager, I played in a game with a bunch of Italians, and I knew they cheated.

And I didn't care because they were so bad that I could win anyway.

I was like, I knew they would cheat, but I knew how they were cheating.

So I was like, all right, you guys suck.

So here's the thing.

Anytime you're talking about...

large sums of money, there will be people looking to take advantage, whether that's live or online, right?

And so it's like the job essentially of the, you know, the online operators or the, you know, live event staff to police it the best they can.

And the players themselves being on the lookout for it, you know, like a guy like Daryl Brunson is a great resource because he's seen it all and he's seen all the tricks, you know, and so live, you know, he probably could spot a few things, but online there's various ways people can try to cheat, but there's also really good

security measures in place to catch them you know and we've caught in like about two years ago there was a huge undertaking of like 500 accounts that were banned for doing different things and you know there's and again you can't go in they can't go into detail in terms of how they're doing it because otherwise you know then you're sort of giving the cheats the playbook in terms of how to take advantage but it's always going to be a concern for poker wherever you play right and

But it's not something I'm worried about personally.

Yeah.

Like, so here's the thing.

I don't play in private games and whatever.

Right.

Right.

But in private games, theoretically, you, you know, you could be in, if you don't trust the people you're playing with, like I've heard stories of people where, you know, they have an earpiece in that you can't see.

Right.

And they have a, you know, like RFID on the cards or something like that.

And they have a phone reading it.
