Poker secrets seminar to cost almost $1,000
With poker’s popularity showing no signs of abating, one former government official is cashing in by offering his services to ambitious players.
Joe Navarro, a retired FBI counterintelligence agent, is set to use his espionage background as a means of providing high-quality poker advice to a group of gamblers who have cash to burn.
Costing $999, the eight hour long seminar at Caesar’s, Las Vegas, will instruct a group of 100 attendees on the art of poker tells, as Navarro demonstrates the difficult practice of how to find out what other players are thinking.
The tell, a subtle change in the behaviour or facial expression of an opponent that reveals how good their hand is, is widely considered to be one of the hardest parts of the game to master.
Navarro has experience of the topic, having previously given lectures on the subject at Camp Hellmuth, a poker academy established by World Series of Poker champion Phil Hellmuth.
