I'm constantly amazed at the cleanliness of the chips. COVID is certainly helping with harvesting and hooker juice.

Standard. I find I go out of my way to show cards, talk about hands, and explain to the regs this is not a “real game” - it helps.

Combine living quarters WITH footwear for ultimate psycheouts, as such:
When did kids shoes become so expensive... I mean, they use so much less material... Is it the tiny foot molds? Are they rare?

When I saw the hands PF, that's what I was expecting to happen... the non-spade turn disappointed me.

I mean he raised preflop to $35 so he was obv pot committed to play a $4k pot.
I'm shocked at the number of times people are playing two gappers at the top of the hands in these videos.

So maybe it's my tilt talking, maybe I'm just paranoid. But I'm going to start keeping track of who is dealing when these Cubans hit their miracles, which include but are not limited to:
Gets it in three-ways preflop with
for $1500, goes once and wins
Gets it in with
against 
on a flop of 
and magically turns the 
and fades the river flush and full house outs to chop
Gets it in preflop with
for $1500 three-ways, flops set of 6's, turns flush and rivers straight to beat KKxx and AAxx
Raises OOP in a $10 straddled pot to $75 with
and after two callers I limp-repot and he just calls leaving himself $130 behind, flops QJ3 against my KK54 and spikes the Q on the turn to win that one.
Called off half his stack preflop (a raise to $450 out of his $900) with
against my 
and flops Q9x and turns the 9 after we get it in on the flop.
Calls off $1,200 as the FOURTH all-in player preflop with
and goes twice (this was pre-Covid) and wins BOTH BOARDS up against AAxx, KKxx and AKQT suited.
I mean, it's just fucking uncanny some of the monster pots and absolute setups where their opponents are NEVER folding these guys put their chips into with absolutely nothing. And it's starting to make me wonder if there's more going on than meets the eye here. These two drive to Tampa from fucking Miami to play this game, which only adds further to the suspicion (it's a 4 hour drive)
So yeah, going to start keeping track of the big pots they win with garbage and who was dealing and the action, see if I can't find something nefarious going on.

This thought hit me too... When aces shoved in front of him, he snap-shoved for less. It was almost like he made up his mind he was shoving when it got back to him and he didn't consider the possibility that someone could outdraw him. I guess you need that kinda ambivalence toward variance to play Omaha for higher stakes.

If this were a self-dealt game or a home game with friendly dealers I might be more suspicious, but sounds like observation bias imo. I don't see any hand histories in that message from the times they've put in their stack and not won.
And just throwing it out there that there could be...other reasons...to drive from Miami to throw a lot of money around in a casino.

Like I said, could be tilt and/or paranoia talking, but they play shit and come out smelling like roses in a lot of big pots, especially over the last month.
Raising OOP to 75 with Q932 with a suited 3, then calling my limp repot which he assumes is AAxx and he's calling off 80% of his stack preflop. I know people are bad, but it just smells off to me
And yes, I'm sure there are other reasons they are coming to Tampa (drugs, laundering money by playing cards, etc)
Guess we'll see if I notice it only happening with a specific dealer or not
I wouldn't let it bother you too much. As long as you continue to get your money in good, the variance wave will come crashing down on them and you'll be taking money from them by the thousands. Let them drool, and when they suck out, smile, say "nice hand", and get them next time 
It's annoying, but you want these types of players in that game.
