I speak a little spanish so sometimes I know what they are talking about.  At the same time, the table is supposed to be English only in most casinos and if it becomes an issue, just call a floor.   If I think they are sharing notes etc about the current game, I will call the floor immediately.</description><pubDate>Sat, 22 Mar 2008 06:49:39 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>compncards</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: bilingual players</title><link>http://www.gambling.com/forum/Topic2393-20-1.aspx</link><description>Unless they were pointing their finger at me, grinning and having an evil laugher I think I could just deal with it. I might find it a little odd, but I'm sure they could think the same of me too.</description><pubDate>Fri, 21 Mar 2008 19:27:19 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>rawrmoo42</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: bilingual players</title><link>http://www.gambling.com/forum/Topic2393-20-1.aspx</link><description>When this happens, I usually look at the gestures of the players if they are sharing secrets about the game. A grin is a sign that they have something. But a normal conversation with a laugh or a smile is ok. But I also admit that it raises some doubts on my part about the players who speaks different language other than mine.</description><pubDate>Fri, 21 Mar 2008 06:28:41 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Observer</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: bilingual players</title><link>http://www.gambling.com/forum/Topic2393-20-1.aspx</link><description>I'm all for people speaking in their native languages, but I admit, if I was at a table with a couple people speaking in a different language, I'd be wondering if they were sharing secrets about the game.</description><pubDate>Mon, 10 Mar 2008 21:49:39 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>GlitzyGranny</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: bilingual players</title><link>http://www.gambling.com/forum/Topic2393-20-1.aspx</link><description>I would not be concerned or bothered if I knew that it was because their English was not good enough. But if they spoke English, and were just using it to cheat then you bet I would be rattled.</description><pubDate>Fri, 22 Feb 2008 04:56:25 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>SnakeEyes</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: bilingual players</title><link>http://www.gambling.com/forum/Topic2393-20-1.aspx</link><description>Not knowing the language can be a bit intimidating.  If the conversation seems light, it's not an issue.  But if they seem they're actually speaking about me, or sharing secrets about the game, then I would get really concerned! :unsure:</description><pubDate>Thu, 21 Feb 2008 21:23:33 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>MoneyMaker</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: bilingual players</title><link>http://www.gambling.com/forum/Topic2393-20-1.aspx</link><description>That's hilarious.  I hadn't thought of speaking Pig Latin for any such situation.  &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Do you think it counts for sign language?  What if someone needs an interpreter for any language?  &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;This is a bummer conversation...I haven't thought of any of this before...especially when I don't really think about people cheating and don't cheat myself.  Just because others speak another language I can't automatically assume they're taking advantage.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If myself and a friend were the only ones who spoke English at a table where all spoke Spanish or Chinese, etc, am I to assume they must accomodate my language?  A bit self-centered.   </description><pubDate>Tue, 19 Feb 2008 04:42:17 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>ProPlayer</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: bilingual players</title><link>http://www.gambling.com/forum/Topic2393-20-1.aspx</link><description>It can sometimes. I mean I am not at all racist, but you have to admit when someone is speaking with one or several other individuals and looking at you its a bit unnerving. Harassment suits have been won over such things. However I find speaking Pig Latin in return can work against that type of thing. They may be able to speak English as well, but probably not Pig Latin.:P</description><pubDate>Tue, 19 Feb 2008 04:23:15 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>purplefdu</dc:creator></item><item><title>bilingual players</title><link>http://www.gambling.com/forum/Topic2393-20-1.aspx</link><description>Does it bother you if you play with others who speak another language...and can speak to another player in that language, but you don't understand it?</description><pubDate>Tue, 19 Feb 2008 04:09:59 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>ProPlayer</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
