Question for FORMLESS, blisterfoot, 15. Dec 2003 11:25

Hi Formless, I may have missed your earlier post on this, but what was the flagrant cheating that you saw at the Excalibur? Similar to the kind of stuff allegedly happening at the Orleans, or something else?

Also, you said you used to be a casino manager--do the surveillance guys scrutinize the poker tables as closely as the rest of the casino? I would think that since it's mostly the players' money at stake and not the casino's (as opposed to in blackjack, craps, etc.), that the casinos would have less incentive to de dedicate as many resources to poker surveillance....is that true?

No, it was different. 3 drunk Rounder kids playing footsies on me. It was a 5 handed 2-4 game at 4AM, no big deal really. But the floor was actually sitting at the table watching them, and didn't hava a clue what was going on.

Nope. Not even close. But a good floorperson should be able to catch what's going on.
