Iris Caught Marking the Cards at Commerce
 

Infamous Commerce player Iris was sent home today for marking the cards. She likes to get a lot of new set-ups when she's losing and since Commerce only allows one new set-up per hour unless there is a damaged card, she takes it upon herself to damage the cards. My neighbor and I caught her and she was sent home by the floorman. Of course, she'll be back tomorrow.

She doesn't mark the cards to cheat, but rather to get new set-ups. But it's not impossible she cheats when she marks them, or that other players are aware of her habit and use the marked card(s) to their advantage. Be alert if you find yourself in a game with her.

She doesnt mark the cards to cheat, she just bends them to get a new setup, and she doesnt try and conceal this. Now youre telling me to be alert of this? Go away.

This honestly sounds really nitty.

Pretty standard from my experience at LA games. I've seen someone intentionally do this a couple times. And the new setup is requested on average about every 20 minutes.

Scrambooooooool!

Simple solution to this is to allow set ups WHENEVER a player requests them. Then just charge the player for a new deck of cards +1 dollar for Administrative fee's.

This would save the casino a ton of dough and would basically pay the casinos cost for new decks.

After dropping 50 dollars in new decks every day Iris would eventually stop asking for setups

No, her and all the other tilty fish would just take their business to 1 of the other 300 cardrooms in the Los Angeles metroplex that dont charge for set ups.

No legit reason any player should be intentionally defacing cards, whether the intent is to cheat or not. It might be nitty to some people, but I think sending her home for the day is good policy. Having to change setups is annoying enough, but the real problem is that you might get players uncomfortable with the game they're in.

Peronsaly, a perma ban for destroying casino property wouldn't be out of the question in most rooms here. Also, I see lots have gone to "no setups unless something is wrong with the cards" which basically says "nits go home/elsewhere".
