Legends Poker Room in Houston, Tx Dealers caught cheating. (2 Viewers)

Shuffles the deck then pulls the cards thru = never shuffling at all.
As shiity as the 4-5 seat is, also a reason why it’s good to sit there.

There’s no gaming commission for a Texas card room - that’s the problem with Texas cardrooms.

That’s some very sloppy cheating. You’d think if they were going to do this in a cardroom, they’d at least be good at it!
Yeah it is…no one watches the dealers. This idiot is practicing and just learned how to do it probably. Glad they caught him. Smart to not tip him off by complaining and instead record it.
At least he doesn’t need a shiner…
then one would expect the call to the police would carry more weight
Hahaa badass!
It looks not bad if you don‘t pay attention.
Nice catch - some players have very sharp eyes!

I know there are people here that are very anti-shuffler, but I would think that be a better solution. A crooked dealer can manipulate a deck very well. (this one was not done well).

Make all card room dealers watch this on loop for an hour to get the point across:

For those of us with untrained eyes, can someone explain how they could spot the fake shuffling?
Also, was every single riffle a fake shuffle?
I think I can see how he tried to set the deck at the beginning, but the rest looked like a normal shuffle to me.

Watch the riffles. You can see them separate the cards back into the halves they were at prior to starting the riffle itself.
The cut is also a HUGE giveaway where they are palming one half of the stub still while setting the first half on the cut card, which is also still the first half of the unriffled deck from the onset. That whole deck should be one complete stack prior to cutting. Furthermore, after you finish straightening the deck for the cut, your hands should release from the deck entirely for a moment. Only then should you cut onto the cut card, release your hand entirely again, and then put the second half of the stub on top of the first placed half.

Playing at the room just down the street from Legends right now. Definitely the talk of the room. Floor being very careful ensuring dealers are all being fully technically correct.

Who is anti-shuffler here? Most players I think would prefer to have a shuffler in their setup. They are just anti-paying-a-ton for shufflers

This is a very old technique. Jay Ose, as technical advisor for "The Cincinnati Kid" demonstrated this to Joan Blondell in a featurette related to the film.
I liked his patter, its definitive and direct, the double lifts were nice as well but not as much skill as the false shuffle
Hello!Who is anti-shuffler here? Most players I think would prefer to have a shuffler in their setup. They are just anti-paying-a-ton for shufflers
For a self dealt game, yeah I’m anti-shuffler. You really can’t get any faster, game-pace wise than a 2-deck setup. I don’t care if you’re shuffling ahead or shuffling behind - there’s always a fresh deck ready as the pot is raked.
With a shuffler, the shuffler stays in one place while the decks have to be passed back and forth to it and from it? That’s awkward and slow. Not to mention, of the two products on the market, shufflemasters are really loud and kinda slow, while deckmates have this programmable issue that people shouldn’t trust outside of a regulated casino.
If you have a dealer (or if you’re the dealer,) sure a shuffler speeds things up.
There are a few here who lost big pots and are somewhat conspiracy theorists who state the only way coolers happen is with rigged shufflers ....Who is anti-shuffler here? Most players I think would prefer to have a shuffler in their setup. They are just anti-paying-a-ton for shufflers

Oh that's a good point. It didn't even dawn on me about using a shuffler with pass the deck. What you are explaining makes sense, if you were to try that.
However, in my head, I would think I had a shuffler, and players willing to play in a shuffler game, players would prefer not to have to touch the deck and just let it be a center dealt game. (Maybe I would do rotating-cut or something.)
I've played it games like that. I'm not saying it's bad. There's just no advantage, unless you have players who are incapable of shuffling.
I only mention it because if I'd had money to burn, I would have bought a shuffler years ago when I was in accumulate mode. But after hosting and playing around for a while, I know that for me and my game it's a clear no.

Oh I should add that in the Director's commentary, Jewison said some of the close up shots of "Lady Finger's" hands when she was dealing the big game are in fact Ose's hands wearing nail polish.
Obv answer is obvious: install a shuffler between each player seat, with one deck per shuffler. Totally minimizes deck movement -- remove deck, deal, then back into shuffler for next orbit.
Yeah, it doesn't fix that problem.Most players I think would prefer to have a shuffler in their setup. They are just anti-paying-a-ton for shufflers
