Thats right, he would actually buy the bear in with a stack of some sort, occupying an actual seat at the table, and the bear would be dealt in with everyone else and auto-call all bets. Nobody could play for the bear, so there was no cheating going on. The concept was that OMC simply hated being bluffed that he had an auto-calling teddy bear playing sheriff at the table the whole time. Apparently the casino allowed this since technically there's nothing wrong with it as long as nobody see's his cards during the hand. So if you bluff, well you are bluffing someone playing blind who could beat you with 63o or something. If the bear lost then OMC would just reload him, presumably for the min I guess.
I'm sorry, I'm not buying this one. There's no way a casino would allow it.
Edit: And think about it... anyone with AA or KK would just shove pre and happily take their chances to double up against 2 random cards. No chance this is real. The "bear" would lose a fortune.
