I Just Experienced High Level Heat

[BlackjackMan312]

Hello Everyone! I usually spread 1-10 in $100 Units using Hi-Lo in 6 Deck Games. As some of you remeber i recently made about $25,000 in 1 session. I returned to that same casino the other day to test the waters. The Pit boss ran my player card through, and he seen soemthing on the computer made a phone call and in came the VP of Table Games to Watch my Table for about 1 hour and 1/2. there were several other tables with high action in the pit, but this guy didnt take his eyes off of me. I wasnt counting more or less just playing for fun, trying to act as much like a ploppy as possible lost about $2,000 ..This ever happen to anyone? What was interesting i didnt see a change in penitration from my previous session when i won that $25,000

They haven’t confirmed that you are counting yet but they are on to you. The note on the computer probably told them to do a skills check on you the next time you showed up. If the VP of table games was watching you then they are concerned about your playing and your betting levels. You should take a break for a while and play without the player’s club card when you return. You might be able to hit them a few more times if you are careful.

It was a little less then 2 Decks Cut off which it was when i had my big win. It didnt change on this most recent session where the VP was watching.

I think the VP was counting also. if he was he sure needed to concentrate alot, one of the floorperson's asked him how he was doing and it looked like he got all all frustrated...amateur...lol

This wasn't in a place like AC where they can't kick you out, was it?

I would really expect to not have the guy hawking your play directly. It really seems like it would be more efficient to review tape.

It would seem that just playing and messing around was a good way. That or playing opposite of the count (which would be fun, but expensive).

Actually this was in AC.

That reminds of the first time I ever played blackjack in a casino. I was at Ameristar in Vicksburg, MS and they had a single table open with a $100 minimum. They aren't used to those kind of stakes there and I'm sure they opened the table just for the one player who was there.

I noticed that the pit boss stood beside the table for a LONG time and basically did nothing but stare at the cards the whole way through. Like I said, it was my first time ever playing live blackjack but I had read enough at that point to know exactly what was going on or to at least be pretty damn sure of it.

He was waiting for you to increase your bet with the count. The moment you did, he would tell the dealer to reshuffle.

Next time you play with your card there, the same thing is likely to happen again. Don't use your card and avoid that shift for a while.

in those instances when my name flags the computer I am just half penned,
no VP bothers to stare me down...but then again you are probably much better looking than me!
