Matt--

I think one problem with training dealers to detect cheating patterns is that dealers have enough to pay attention to that doesn't involve the board texture. I think one well-respected dealer or ex-dealer here--maybe even RR?--said that he doesn't even look at what the board-cards are until showdown.

I'd imagine that some (but not all) other betting-pattern issues might be similarly outside the scope of the dealer's attention, and that to bring them within it would require an overhaul of the dealer's mental checklist.
