"Oh, is that how you do it"

I remembered this story today in a time where I was a pure BS player.

At the Luxor I had lost $600 playing nothing but reds.. Min betting 15.. I was losing everything.. Almost every hand. Splits, Doubles, Splits and Doubles were all being dominated by dealer 21's,20's, and BJs.

Pissed off with only 1 black left in my hand and 200 in cash I walk over to the high limit $100 min table.. I bought in for the 200 and put down my black leaving me with 3 chips.. I forgot weather this was an SD or DD game but with 3 blacks I managed to win my first 13 hands in a row. My last hand I pushed with a 20 and decided I was happy with my winnings so I decided to leave.. I was playing heads up and took that table for $1300 in less than 5 minutes.

The dealer hands over a yellow,purple, and black chip. Just as I pick up my chips the PB comes over and angrily says "Oh, is that how you do it?". I chuckled and said "yeah".

A basic strategy player, no spreading, and steaming.

The PB was only FEIGNING anger; actually congratulating you in a playful way. People who play like you did are the bread and butter of the casinos. I can guarantee that he WANTS you to return to his casino.

My best run

I sat down with my remaining $1200 at $100 min table. In a single 6 deck shoe that I played heads up, I left with $9000. I lost twice and pushed once, won the rest. I basically doubled my bet everytime I won until i was betting $1500/ hand.

Which actually leads me to a question.... Obviously the count was pretty high and started coming down near the end. Would I get more heat if I left before the shoe was up versus the end of the shoe (say it returned to 0, which it didnt) - ideas anyone? I frequent this casino often and they know who I am.

I cant remember if a PB was there counting with me or not....luckily i was betting more cause I was winning, not counting ... so they thought.

If you're doubling your bet every time, I'd say you're not counting.

Also, winning the majority of your hands does NOT always indicate a high count.

From what you've said, the casino you mentioned will allow you to play anytime you please.

I didnt say I was playing "properly", I just said I was counting, lol. I wasnt worried about heat simply cause I was chasing my wins. Now I was just thinking of the what ifs to better prepare me.
