- I have served. I will be of service.
Just popped up on my feed.
Someone's gotta bring them, I guess? You gotta have some trust/faith in the host or dealer at the least. If they considered him a friend, then it wouldn't be crazy to assume he's trustworthy? (I didn't watch the video, just read a little blurb about what was happening.)Who the hell plays in a game, let alone gets a whole table of players to be ok with someone bringing their own decks of cards to a game where millions of dollars are at stake?
Right, but surely someone can spot $20 for a new setup of Copags for each game when there are millions of dollars on the table, no?Someone's gotta bring them, I guess?

But then I don't play for millions; maybe if I did, I'd be more vigilant.
Pretty sure it’s been discussed in another thread these marked cards come sealed and look like retail.Right, but surely someone can spot $20 for a new setup of Copags for each game when there are millions of dollars on the table, no?
You can buy marked Copags.Right, but surely someone can spot $20 for a new setup of Copags for each game when there are millions of dollars on the table, no?
Really desjgn is the only major brand that doesn't have packaged marked cards. I've seen Fournier, Copag, Dal Negro, Modiano, Cartamundi, and Piatnik marked cards for sale.You can buy marked Copags.
I used to say that too. But honestly, those marked decks come factory sealed too.If the guys are okay with paper I will bring out two new decks to every game and then toss em when we’re done. They are from a closed or rebranded casino and still in plastic when I open them in front of everyone.
I keep a few plastic setups but prefer paper because we can just throw them away after and they’re less than $2/deck
True. But I feel like the more dirty people that are around your game, the less good I feel about your game.Not really a HCL scandal
credible cheating allegations against a player who plays on stream sometimes but the cheating is alleged to happen in private games only
I have never seen or heard of casino cards being marked during production, do casinos order cards like this?I used to say that too. But honestly, those marked decks come factory sealed too.
Not casino, but tons of casinos/cardrooms use Fournier/COPAG/whatever.I have never seen or heard of casino cards being marked during production, do casinos order cards like this?
These are sealed, unused, cards from an actual casino that shut down or rebranded. So the casino would have had to order them that way.
Not saying you’re not right but just looking for some evidence here
Cheaper than RFID?The marked cards w the camera reading software is damn near undetectable
Yes I know the title was click bait. There’s also ONE WEIRD TRICK YOU WON’T BELIEVE!Not really a HCL scandal

Like @NotRealNameNoSir said above - there are so many legit loooking factory sealed marked decks available, that I just can’t put my trust in any deck.I have never seen or heard of casino cards being marked during production, do casinos order cards like this?

https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/...-home-games-mars-statement-post-87-a-1829256/I read that Mars brought in a card mechanic to deal who brought his own cards.
Yeah I definitely agree there is no 100% foolproof way, but if one of us as players is going to bring the cards we play with in a home game, I think using new casino cards is the safest play.Like @NotRealNameNoSir said above - there are so many legit loooking factory sealed marked decks available, that I just can’t put my trust in any deck.
I get what you’re saying about sealed casino decks being unique, but
1) the average poker player probably wouldn’t understand the point of a sealed casino deck
2) any deck, copag, Kem, or casino branded could be marked and resealed
3) the more we talk about this, the more weird it might feel to be the guy saying “I brought these decks, but they’re fine”
True. But I feel like the more dirty people that are around your game, the less good I feel about your game.
If nothing else, it’s a good reminder that poker is filthy.
