I suspect a dealer in my local casino is cheating. Can someone with more experience give me their thoughts?

Hello. There's a dealer in my local casino that always gives coolers and bad beats. Casually the table is normal and he enters and suddenly massive all ins, yesterday AA vs Kk vs AK, QQ vs JJ, AA vs KK in a row. Apparently he's got prior concerns from other players but floor hasn't done anything. I managed to record the shuffle, can someone tell me if its a false shuffle and a false cut? He did that for 15 hands. Thank you

UPDATE. Went again today. Management took seriously the issue, they checked footage with timestamps and corroborated false shuffle and cuts multiple times. Employee moved to BJ tables, pending further sanction.

Is it safe to put silica gel packets to preserve opened decks?

I live in a humid place, and both my plastic and paper decks absorb moisture fast, making them handle worse. Do you guys think its safe to store the cards with silica packets, or will it damage/warp the cards?

Thank you

Card maintenance for home games?

I’ve got both plastic and paper cards, and I definitely prefer the plastic overall. They feel nicer and obviously last way longer.

But after a while, my plastic decks start to feel kinda sticky when shuffling and dealing. I’m guessing it’s from sweaty hands + humidity in the air (I live in a pretty humid place), but it makes them way less enjoyable to use.

For those of you that host home games, do you guys deal with this? Do you clean your cards regularly, and if so, how do you clean them and how often?

Also curious how long your plastic decks usually stay “good”

Any tips would be appreciated 🙏

Everyone knows that landing closer to KSC will result in more funds being recovered. This is easy to plan from low kerbin orbit, but how do I plan where to land from far away, such as the mun, minmus, or planets far away?

I play monopoly wity family, but although we use the official rules (no money on free parking, auctioning properties) games still last 2+ hours because players aren't willing to trade properties resulting in a stalemate.

Do you have any houserules that solve this and make games go faster?

Thanks
