Yep, I was just thinking out loud. Didn't mean to imply that it would have changed anything in this situation. A poorly shuffled deck is poorly shuffled throughout (if that was the case in this situation). Not having played live in a casino, I was just wondering if the deck was cut after being shuffled. Seems to me it's a good idea for all of the same reasons that it's a good idea for a home game. An unscrupulous dealer could slow riffle or otherwise flash cards to an accomplice.

My guess is that this was a total fluke, and nothing more. The cards are shuffled by hand here, and shuffled well from what I have seen.
I HAVE seen a number of decks destroyed because of "marks" on the cards. Most seemed innocent enough, but one looked like a marked Ace to me. It had an obvious fingernail dent along it's top edge. Hmmmmm.... That was maybe 40 minutes into my first table on Day 1, btw. |

i see this as bad luck more than anything else.
the only reason that anyone is making a big deal about it is that the player that was busted was a shulman and is part of the cardplayer family. if this happened to a regular online qualifier then there would be a bunch of jokes about live poker being rigged, but nothing more would come of it. |
