Poker News:Card Sharp Exposes How Texas Poker Room Dealer “100% Cheated”

Last week, a video surfaced apparently showing a false shuffle taking place at Legends Poker Room in Houston. On Monday, a known card sharp who co-founded the Hollywood high-stakes poker game that inspired the book and movie, Molly’s Game, released a video exposing how he claims the dealer cheated, and provided some valuable advice for poker players.

The incident at Legends, a controversial scandal-ridden Texas poker room, was exposed by Shaun Deeb, who released a video on X that was sent to him by another poker player. Most who commented on the tweet agreed that a rigged deck or false shuffle occurred, while some suggested perhaps the dealer was just inexperienced. But Houston Curtis, author of Billion Dollar Hollywood Heist, left little doubt about what transpired at Legends in a detailed YouTube video.
Legends Poker Room Cheating Dealer Exposed! – PART 1

Part I Exposes Alleged Poker Dealer Cheater
Curtis created two videos on dealer cheating in Texas poker clubs with Part I having been released Monday, and that one focuses on the aforementioned Legends Poker Room incident. In Part II, he will discuss a separate but similar incident at another Texas card room. Before getting into Part I, let’s take a quick look at the video Deeb shared on X.
If you watch closely, it appears the bottom cards are never shuffled in with the rest of the deck. Curtis is confident this was done by no accident, and that the dealer is “100% cheating.”
“He puts the cut card out in front of him first. That is no-no number one,” Curtis explains before going on to say that players should ask the dealer to stop shuffling the deck if they catch the dealer place the cut card in front of the deck before riffling begins.

柯蒂斯接着解释说，荷官正在执行推入式洗牌，而不是在牌中正确洗牌，然后详细介绍了传奇游戏的整个过程。
柯蒂斯说：“他一开始是正常的步枪，但随后他会以 V 形角度推进。”
“这些数据包被相互推挤，一旦它们通过得足够远，他就会抓住它们的另一侧并将它们拉回来。它们根本没有被打乱。然后他以一种非常明显的方式再次这样做。然后他将已经是包装袋底部的部分搅动起来，然后将其放在切割卡上并完成切割。”
柯蒂斯开始用一副从未洗过的新牌重新洗牌。为了证明他关于《传奇》视频中发生的推入式洗牌的观点，在完成演示后，他将这副牌翻过来，正面朝上展开，所有牌仍然保持原来的顺序，这意味着它们不是实际上并没有洗牌。

In the second part of the first video, Curtis moved on to share how the dealer supposedly stacked the deck. It is unclear how the alleged Legends Poker Room cheating hand played out and if a cooler was dealt. He then went on to reiterate proper one-card cut shuffling techniques, and advises poker players to pay attention to how the deck is being shuffled.
Curtis, who previously executive produced Bally’s Big Bet Poker/Live at the Tropicana, has an upcoming book called Million Dollar Mechanics, which shares his expertise on card mechanics.
