Mirage 5-26 Dealers Talkin in code?

[DamitBob]

6/12 game at dealer switch the current dealer tells new guy, "we got a real ballgame here" then says "centerfield and 3rd base". No game is on the TV's, hes obviously telling new guy sumthin. I ask new guy what it means (curious) he won't say but is dissappointed I caught on, it seems.

Any ideas? Possible collusion in seat four or five (center) and nine (third base)?

Most likely referring to possible collusion. Center field would be the 5 seat in a 9 handed game I'm assuming.

Or they're using the baseball position numbers, in which case 3rd base is 5 and center field is 8.

Nope. In casino gaming, first base and third base are always the first and last seats.

Wouldnt it be more likely that he was pointing out fish for the new player than collusion?

Might have something to do with tipping. Either they tipped alot or not at all. Just a guess.

Ummm...New dealer, not a new player.

I think it is unlikely they are talking about collusion, normally a dealer would whisper it or just tell the floor himself.

Were the players LAG? Fighting? Tipping generously?
Those are my guesses.

This sounds right but still not sure. I'll give more info:

I was 5 seat, my wife was in nine. Her first time playing higher then 4/8 kill was today but shes more then ready.

I was up $300 in the first 70 min (mostly with first dealer) I complimented him on his speed. I guessed 50 hands an hr he proudly said a lil more than that, and said he was fastest at Mirage. I tip 1 or 2 bucks depending on pot size. Wife same. No problems or issues came up while we played although he didnt seem to like my consistent chatter (2 baileys/coffee, 2 bloody marys with no food in me, hey, im on vacation) since it slowed his rapid fire pace down a little.

We would never collude and we don't ever soft play each other. She was about even when the "baseball game" comment came out. I figure she will learn faster and move up if I play her tough. Were both tight agg short players online and this was a 6-7 man game with a reduced rake.

I drilled the second dealer pretty hard since I was curious what the code meant. No one else noticed it and he wasn't gonna rat on his buddy. I said, "my tips will increase if you fill me in". He smiled and just kept dealin till the game broke 20 min. later.

If a dealer said this to me on my way into the down I would just assume he meant two players were going at it hard (either in play or chatter). I wouldn't expect it to mean anything like collusion.

I wouldn't know which two seats he meant since if you tell me 3rd Base I think 5 and Centerfield is 9 to me, but I could see how another person might call the five seat Centerfield and the three seat third base. In any event i would not give it a whole lot of thought.
