Two different stories are being discussed.

Hey man, same poster. They banned my account because they said I was using a temporary email address so be it.

Anyway, I’m not discounting your story because I have played at Mohegan for years and witness hand shuffling all the time. I even asked one dealer why this was and she told me straight up they are not supposed to.

While the posters saying that most allegations the floor has to deal with are just made up have merit, if they have not played a Mohegan Sun they should not say ‘oh it’s variance’ and because so many claims are horseshit the floor defers to thinking ALL cheating claims are horseshit.

For sure groups play together in tournaments and soft play. There are rings that work that room and have been doing so for years. I even had guys ask me to make backdoor deals on hands.

As to your questions, the dealer who was fired [mod: removed] and it was because yes he let them play high card. The thing about calling out flops and cards no I did not witness it. It was told to me by another dealer who saw it and had no idea how they were doing it. Could she be full of ****? Maybe, but she’s not the type. She’s an [mod: removed] lady. I can’t explain it either. I really do want to know who the hand shuffling dealer is so PM or just give me a hint. Hopefully this account won’t be banned.

mod: Feel free to PM details if you feel the need, but do not post them. That will be a violation of this forums rules on privacy.

I have removed a small bit of the above post that included some details about some dealers for the same reason.

Then my original point stands. Assuming the dealer is a cheat, there's almost zero chance he's wasting cheating on coolering you, specifically to nobody in particular's benefit.

I don't disagree.

The only situation I can think of is a dealer who also deals in a home/side game where he is expected to cheat so he practices in the casino. He really doesn't care who wins or is coolered in the casino, just that he gets his practice in.

Are you nuts? Until recently the room rarely ran tournaments with larger than a $120 buy-in. You truly believe “groups” of any reasonable skill level are targeting a room with so little upside? Now in the old room there was plenty of daytime 2/5 regs who played soft against each other and a couple who you had to be aware of when they were seated next to one another, but their skill levels were so ABC that you could tell what they were doing before they even did it.

Huh? Yes they do, they’ve even asked me to be part of it. You are very naive. Several of the poker players are friends and take gambling trips together to Fl or whereever. They’ll come in together and play certain tournaments, you really believe there is never chip dumping or other stuff or that room is going to do anything about it? The buy in doesn’t matter, if there’s an edge even an unethical one they will take it. Yeah most of the games and tourneys are straight, but I’ve seen it happen and groups have even asked me to join them.

Again I don’t discount the OPs story, that room can be shady as ****.

I remember that wasnt he caught at casino esplanade?
