Message: [QUOTE="TheKAAHK, post: 1519651, member: 50742"] /\ I like this /\ I have had this come up once during a live casino tourney. Not the exact situation, but it was collusion between three players at the table. Problem was, I was at a small Indian casino and the players and the dealer and the FLoor all knew eachother quite well. I believe one of the players in question and the Floor were related as well. Anyways, I noticed the collusion right away. All pots between the three were always checked down, and one of the players was showing her cards to the railers, who were in turn telling the other two about them. I decided to take the "say it to m face" route and called them on it. After being told to "**** off" by one of the players, the dealer just casually told them to knock it off. They did. For about 4 hands until this came up: I was in BB (3 seat, 9 handed) w/QQ, The colluders were in the 2, 4 and 7 seats. 4 folded, 7 raised 4bb, sb (2) called as did I. Flop came K, rag, rag. 2 checked, I bet roughly 2/3pot, 7 shoved (was SS in hand). 2 snap called and I folded. Before turn was dealt 2 mucked his hand, awarding 7 the pot. I lost it. The dealer told me to calm down, and if I had any problems, call the Floor. I did, and was told that technically what had happened was all fine and dandy, and that I should not make a big deal about nothing, or what he called "a common occourance in the game". I promptly left my seat and went on a hunt for the casino manager. After an hour of getting the runaround I finally had a chance to speak with him face to face. In the end, since it was my word against three players, the Floor and the dealer, and since there were no cameras in the tournament room, I was SOL. The casino manager offered me my buy-in back and comped me on the buffet. Woo hoo. I'm sure that to this day (this was roughly 8 months ago) this is still gling on. Bringing it up didn't help any. Perhaps, unless there are cameras present, the best thing to do is to just aoid the situation the best you can until the table breaks. Or failing that, make your observations known to another dealer in the room. Just don't tell said dealer exactly who you think the players are. Since they usually rotate dealers at casino tourneys, This dealer will eventually be moved to your table, and if they see anything suspitious, they will take steps to end it. (if they are the least bit ethical I suppose). Wow, that was really long winded.... *wheeze* *gasp* [/QUOTE]
