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
