Cheating at a poker room?

[meow_meow]

It's pretty pathetic that something like that could go on at the Bellagio, but I'm more surprised by the credulity of a lot of the responses - just because they are trying to cheat doesn't mean they do it well.

But really, I think the dealers have some responsibility to stop this kind of thing. They are in the unique position of being able to seruptitiously scope mucked hands. I remember one day playing at a indian casino in nowhere Ontario, two guys came in, sat down beside each other, were obviously kicking each other under the table, laughing, and making it pretty obvious. I gave the dealer a look, she shrugs. Next dealer comes in, a guy I know plays and deals underground in Toronto. 5 minutes in he calls over the supervisor and whispers something to her, 5 minutes later the cheaters are kicked. It should be just that easy. This is a 5-10 FL game in backwater Ontario, not 5-10 NL at the Bellagio.
