i'm suspicious of something on these large clunky phones.

i've only noticed it at wind creek. i don't play here often (i play wherever i'm traveling too.. i live in florida).

let me know if anyone else observes some consistently suspicious play with a large cell phone pointed towards dealer.
I don't think if it's on the rail it can do anything sinister. I keep my phone on the rail up side down and sometimes if I have a coffee or a drink it's facing straight ahead but the camera's on the back facing the ceiling.

The only thing I do hate is when some of their dealers let players text while they're in a hand.

i think there is more chance than not that i'm just being paranoid... and i don't know how it would give advantage... but all three guys had similar large-ish phones. they all had what looked like an plastic IR screen at the top of it and they all had it pointed straight ahead.. .perpendicular to the rail.

and they always got to the river with weak pairs... usually against AK... but they would never be in there against AA, KK, QQ, JJ. it just felt like they were super users who could see hole cards in a live game.

even typing it i feel a bit silly... but just seeing if anyone else noticed a pattern of big stacks with guys with similar phones positioned the same way on the rail

carry on... i'll still come play here... i'm not totally convinced of cheating myself

Anything is possible. What game do they play? Are they on the same table?

There's nothing wrong with talking to the shift manage (not a dual rate, ask who's in charge of the shift) point them out to him so at least he's aware of their presence and will keep an eye on them. If he sees it needs to be looked into further he can report it to surveillance. It might be nothing, but you never know.

it was 1/2NL. last time it was only one guy at table. time before that there were two guys at same table.

if it was any kind of cheating all three were good at picking spots and being patient... nothing too obvious. but once i had a suspicion i started noting every big pot they would get in and they never lost at showdown, often with marginal hands.

There's one in the garage I believe it's on the 1st floor. I would call them before hand just to verify so you don't get stuck there.

I have seen this kind of thing before that I strongly suspected cheating. No crazy out of line play but always wins at showdown in weird spots. But also playing tight. Also the action was super weird, the flow of play was... off, and the players' mannerisms while playing was weird. Like they weren't engaged and thinking. No furrowed brows or eye movements or any other little human thing that indicated they were engaged in thinking about a poker game. This went on for three days and on the 4th day I went in with the intent to be pretty brazen about trying to figure out how it was happening but they had moved on. One of the first things I was going to look for was phone shenanigans.

I think this kind of thing is definitely out there and people should be on the lookout.

No new tournaments until the jackpot hits! Cash games only until further notice. Every time the jackpots high I see ppl I haven't seen in years from RW, AC and Parx coming in to take a stab at the 420 k

Played 24 hours over the past 48 hours. Sat at almost every stakes. Small win of 1200--I'll take it. (Took down a 3k pot to get unstuck. fistpump.jpg.) Couldn't hit one set in 24 hours of pure play. Not doxxing myself, but if you were at my table, "hi." Friday had me waiting over 3 hours on every list. Thank god for the bar at Chop House.

I tried searching this thread but I don't understand the comps in real terms. ($/hr., etc.) I used to be the professor of Borgata comps, so I'm sorry of this is explained in another post, and I feel your pain explaining this to a noob; but how do I earn/spend/benefit-from comps here?

you get 70 cents per hour while logged in a game, but you also get daily free spins I'm getting 10 dollars every day I play and just cash out all the winning hands so it probably comes closer to 2/hr if you play the comps right and don't put the winnings back.
The points in your account are in cents, so if you have 25,000 ponts it converts to $250.00. You can use it one for one at restaurants and bars or you can also convert it into free play separate from your daily free play.
If you plan on playing there longer there's an app called wind creek which keeps track of your comps and free play money.

I get $10 free slot play as well when I do play there and I use them on the nearby video poker machines. I cash out the winnings and use them to pay for drinks there.

Not sure if you know, but does the poker room plan on lowering the hand requirements for the bad beat jackpot? Not a big fan of waiting for hours on weekends just to get into a poker game (I'm sure Wind Creek doesn’t mind and wants me to spend $$$ elsewhere while I wait). I assume the long wait times will decrease once the bad beat jackpot finally hits.

By lowering the qualifier it means it won't get this high anymore which won't draw in this much volume which is the point of the jackpot to begin with but from what I've heard they might be considering a capped bbj similar to the Borgata to increase the high hand promotions. IMHO no HH (except the rare ones at parx) will ever draw in as many people as it does when the BBJ's high.

I played my 10 dollars yesterday on the wheel of fortune, and I usually play a dollar a spin but I just cashed out so I was fixing my cash and I had my phone and drink on the machine so I accidently pressed 5 dollars, it hit for 10, then before I can press the 1 dollar button I pressed 5 by mistake again and it hit for 25 so I cashed out after 2 mistake spins and won 35 bucks by accident (I never put the winnings back into the machine, but that's just me).

Personally, I wouldn’t mind a capped BBJ and more high hand promos if it happens. Gives back to the regulars who will no doubt be playing more poker here. I hope to come this Thursday to try to get a piece of the BBJ if it still hasn’t hit by then. I don’t think I have seen it this high in a long while.

The biggest one I was in was 335K, it's been higher before. The only problem with the HH's is they run them on odd times, like sunday at 7pm, never on a Fri or Sat, and if a holiday comes up on a scheduled HH day, they take them away (while Parx and Borgata have extra/higher ones on holidays)!! Is that not a stab in the back to the regs that were loyal there? I would rather have a shot at a big payout instead of a 250/hr HH but that's just me maybe I'm biases since I've hit 4 of them there (so far of course).

I think with only 20 tables, they really have to focus on having promos only when they expect empty tables, regs be damned. The people who actually come for poker will only tolerate so many 3-hr wait times before they play elsewhere.

I'd rather see more massage girls and even an incremental upgrade to that cleaning fluid they call Scotch.

I was there earlier today playing 1/2 NL. From speaking with the dealers there, they are putting in some overtime hours during this busy period. I hope they are making good money as some of them look tired to me.
