I said they where cheating, not that they where smart or good or discrete at it. This was just one example of their team work observed many times.

Yeah, but what you said is that they need "signals" for raises or folds, which is obviously ridiculous to anyone who's played poker before. So your story has a strange little hole in it. It's not a question of "being good at it", it's a question of you percieving some need for signals, which raises a question about your ability to evaluate the entire situation.

If they were cheating, in the hand where Sue reraised Tommy's flop bet, why wouldn't he have checked to her, let her bet the $120, have the old lady call the $120, then reraise it in order to get another $120 out of the third party. Instead they risked over $600 to get her $60 bucks. And you observed all of this in under an hour? Seems like a really paranoid uncalled for accusation to me. I think I'd be grateful to have them playing at my table. Thanks for chasing them out of Bellagio.

I think I have seen that girl there. So far, I have seen her with about 3 different guys. Based on your evidence and her style of play, I don't see collusion. The girl I am thing of plays an aggressive game post flop. Based on her playing style, I don't see what you observed as being collusion.

But I could be talking about someone completely different.

Good description. Very detailed. Aside from the "cute" adjective, you suceeded in describing what, like 90% of asian girls?

There are very few cute late 20's asian women regularly playing $5-10 NL in Vegas. I'm pretty certain all the regular locals in this level game recognize each other.

I only play one weekend a month and typically recognize half the players at a $10-20, $15-30, or $20-40 LHE table at Wynn, Bellagio, or Mirage.

Did the Bellagio bar you for something and this is your way of "getting back"?

So these two were "regulars". And in all this time, nobody caught on to their "routine" except OP? Oh, I forgot. The staff are corrupt too. That's the point of the post. Not that you "caught" two colluders, but that everybody should avoid the Bellagio.

I don't buy what you are selling.

You just attacked the OP because you don't like his conclusions? I guess I'm not buying what you're selling.

I'm not sure isolating an opponent 1 against 2 is +EV anyway.
