So i got my first backoff - from the Sweaty Spaniard!
i kinda knew it was going to happen as soon as i got there because
1) i don't look like a degenerate local
2) got a checks play as soon as i doubled my initial bet from 25 to 50 (after a win).
i lost about 10 units playing single deck, so i bought in for another 10 units on their double deck to make it back at a game i knew how to play better.
The whole time i'm getting looks from the pit.. now i can say i finally know what heat feels like. You can feel it in your face, and deep in your stomach.
I finally win about 30 units in one shoe and I know its time for me to leave. About 10 of these are me just winning back my losses, so i really didn't hit them hard at all. Of course right as i'm coloring up, the dirtiest looking PB comes over to me, sits right next to me and CREEPILY gets in my face and goes
" You are a very good player. You had the other PB fooled that you were just a basic strategy player, and if i wasnt so bored around here you would have fooled me too. I know exactly what you are doing. Backing down your bets in the minus counts, letting it ride on the plus. Not hitting your 16 and 15s in the plus. doubling on soft 19 in the plus. you are very very good. Very very good. That's why i'm going to flat you for the rest of your night here. You pick an amount and you stick with it. And you are not welcome back to play backjack here as soon as you walk out that door tonight."
I knew he was sarcastic as hell, but he kept saying "you are very very good" so aggressively as if i had just scammed his family... anyways, all i did was keep saying " Thank you sir, thank you sir".. and i high-tailed it out of there.
I even got heat when i cashed out my chips. I brought my measly $650 to the cage and they asked me where i won it. I said i won it on the double deck. They even had to call the pit to make sure i won it where i said i won it.
my god what a junkyard that place is.
advice to new AP's -- don't waste your time there, because even though the game is beatable, you cant win $1 there without feeling like you stole it. And you will get flat-bet or backed off, but who knows if they spread that info to other casinos. You're better off taking your action to friendlier places.
