Between the fact that anyone could smuggle in extra dice chips and the shuffle your own deal and no burn cards leaving it wide open to anyone who could even halfway work a deck, it was just way too open to shadiness for me. Too bad because there were some really bad players there.

I guess the take home message is, if at all possible, find out the blinds schedule and setup from the TD before trying out a new game.
