I saw some poker ugliness too, even more prevalent than in the past.
I saw a few teams working tables as low as 30-60 in the bellagio.
I saw a number of instances of marked cards. The floor people seem to react to damaged cards very casually.
I heard that RIO dealers in cash games were skimming from pots, heard that from a few different sources.
Don't get me started talking about concerns about ethical play in tournaments, unless you want to hear more than you care to.
Poker feels darker now, and it was pretty dark before.

Have other folks witnessed events like this lately? I was surprised to read about the team play at Bellagio. What types of things should I be looking out for next time I play there?

A lot of rumor there, with no specifics or evidence. I've heard that online poker is rigged too.

Watch out for this guy at your table.

"Is this a game of chance?"

"Not the way I play it, no."
