While waiting for more messages to read on UPF I checked out the RPT site.

There are always a ton of threads about/from Russ.

What is the story on him?

Thanks,
Don

I found this in an article on Texasholdem-poker.com:

"Russ Georgiev, one of the most skilled short-handed players I have ever had the opportunity to converse with, once gave me this piece of advice: "

I wouldn't trust anything you read from him, he's a self-admitted cheater who is supposedly reformed. He also has some serious delusions of grandeur.

His instructions on how to cheat are gigantically convoluted and complicated too. I'm sure that there are many easier ways. His writing reminds me of back in the day when I fancied myself a magician and somebody would blurt out, "I know how you did that! You have a string up your arm with a pully and then there is a glue on the stick and blah blah blah," when the trick was pulled off because I put my hand in my pocket while nobody was looking.

I just lost all respect for you, Wren, and my long lost code-writer Becky.

A magician !?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

GRIN. I did develop the ability to do a couple of cool looking one-hand deck-cuts, but I never did develop deck stacking ability or anything. If anything, I just got decent at shuffling quickly. ... ... ... and balloon animals.

Hilarious, I'm picturing you making balloon animals at show-n-tell during junior high years......then having your glasses smashed and getting beat up afterwards in the hallway.

Heheh...actually I hid the dorky side of my persona very carefully. I was the first kid to hit puberty so I went from being a big nerd to being good at sports pretty quickly.

But yeah, on the weekends I would paint warhammer figures and hang out in video arcades. Although I needed them I refused to get glasses until after highschool.

P.S. All Moz's fault. He got me thinking of movie quotes this past week.
