Good.

I f*cking HATE nits that constantly ask for setups with the hot, fiery passion of a thousand suns. Especially when in the box. These nits deserve a swift kick in the skull instead of the ass when getting tossed out.

As a player I absolutely LOVE being at a table with as many people who ask for set-ups as often as possible as I can get. I wish EVERYBODY wants to get set-ups. And I play in a time game. If I was in a rake game I'd be asking for them too.

Oh, I don't mind playing with people who ask for setup changes... having those types at the table isn't a problem in and of itself. From the box I don't care because we don't do it on request if the cards are fine, although we might make the occasional exception for whatever reason. If you're playing 1/2 and you just aren't getting any cards, forget it though.

But no, the superstitious types are good company. Let them ask, just don't go marking cards.

This honestly sounds really nitty.

No, anything that gets Iris out of the game is a good thing for the world. She is painful to play with and she doesn't play as poorly as she used to so now there is really no reason for her to exist, other than for random B&M stories I guess.

I think the Commerce staff is going to have quite a party the day she gets perma-banned, moves, quits poker, BUSTOs, or dies.

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.

Commerce would have to send home half the players in the casino.

I'd decided not to tell stories about others without their knowledge, but marking the cards deserves the bad publicity.

Change her name to Siri and nobody will know the difference, or start delivering Gabe stories - your choice.

Question to all: Should Iris be forced to pay for the replacement deck as a penalty since she was found intentionally damaging the deck? Why should the house be forced to eat the cost of the replacement?

I agree as long as they don't actually GET the new set-up. It would be very painful to have 2-3 set-ups an hour.

Since the casino doesn't pitch and entire deck, but rather just the bad card, the actual cost to the place was 1/52nd of a deck. Sure...bill her 20cents.

I don't think this is true. They always brought a new deck at commerce when I was there two years ago. I think that allowing a setup anytime someone asked but charging a $1 is crazy. People used to use the setups just to get a smoke break and grind the game to a halt. If they did it everytime someone asked there would only be 3 hands delt an hour at commerce tables.
