A shill is put into place as a service to the players, as well as the room, to try and maintain full games, so its not about beating the players (colluding?). If you sat down and tried to beat up your players, they would very quickly become your former players.
I'm not speaking for ZD, but I think I know what he meant. I think he was saying that, as with any shill player not you in particular, you could intentionally dump casino money to "friends". I've always been a bit weary of shills although I know that they do serve a purpose.
Yes, this is what I meant. As someone else said "splashing the pot" or whatever else before the cards are dealt would make it a lot fairer for all players rather than you purposefully losing hands.
