Well, *I* wouldn't do it.
But if he wanted to fly under the radar, he should have played "normally" - with whatever style he uses - and basically only looked at his opponent's hole cards when he came into tough spots. It would be tough to not look constantly, but that's really the way to do it.... just when you need to decide if you should make that big, marginal call, or if you can push a weak hand and get your opponent to fold because he has air. And yeah, HU would be the games to focus on. Doing this in a tourney was retarded. |

Sort of reminds me of about 10+ years back when a couple of computer guys at a dog track wrote a program to identify all superfecta combos not played and print a ticket from an unused mutuel machine that was time-stamped before the race ran. I'm missing some details, but they got away with it for quite a while until one of their wives or GFs bragged about it.
Just goes to show that the old adage is correct - 3 people can keep a secret as long as 2 of them are dead.

Mainstream media picks up the story
NYT coverage
This is an quality blog, BTW. It's from the guys who wrote Freakonomics, an interesting book/look at the stats, society, and trends.

Cool book. It's sitting behind me on my desk as I type this.
Those guys are into poker, so I'm not surprised they picked up on this story. Last I heard, they were putting together some huge pokernomics project. I think I posted about it here a while ago. Yeah, here it is: |
