    High roller, low min table ownership.

    A $150 to $500 bets makes you a high roller in some smaller casinos especially in the Reno and lake tahoe area. In vegas they could put a $500 bet as the minimum bet but in Reno it is a max bet a lot of places. As for the high roller not wanting you to play you should say to him that I want...

    So, what are the most common BJ game rules?

    Be willing to play two deck over one deck if 2 deck pays 3:2 and one deck pays 6:5. Even if you can't double after a split on the two deck.

    This is what casino surveillance uses to catch counters?!?!

    Most players don't know how to play a pair of 9's including casino personal so he might be telling the player how he would play the hand.

    Big bettors at your table...GOOD or BAD?

    Big betters are fun! They are awesome to give advice too! If you are lucky maybe you can make prop bets with them that give you a big edge. Like betting on the dealer making a hand. Or finishing a double that they did not complete. Maybe if you are lucky he will toss you a chip or two.

    Win tolerance?

    Each casino is different in that respect. Some casino owners have really deep pockets where a few thousand dollar win is just the cost of doing business and they don't really care that much where as other casinos would totally freakout on a few thousand dollar win. For instance the Siena in...

    How much do you walk into the casino with?

    The ATM fee for one! I think I was hit with an $8 ATM fee last time I used a casino ATM and they don't charge a flat fee they charge more money for taking out more money. That was the last time I ever used a casino ATM.
