Been a while since I've posted.

On the comp system: Remember that how much money you have at the table is irrelevant, the only thing that matters is how big your bets are.
Most PBs rate me in the $100-$200/hand range (I work a $25 unit and spread 1-30, sometimes up to 36). My average playing time works out to be around 4-6 hours on a given day, and I usually wind up making just under 100 points (except for one notable time at Mohegan, where I was betting 100/unit, and spreading 1-24...350 points).
This being said - feel free to ask your PB what he/she has your average at. I frequently do this when I'm betting huge, because it brings attention to the large bets and they'll almost always bump your average up (remember, it doesn't calculate minute-to-minute, whatever your FINAL average for a session is, THAT'S what you get...so if I play 5 hours at $25 avg, then get bumped to $100 for an hour and leave, I get that $100 avg for ALL SIX HOURS).
On the paragraph above, you might want to refrain from calling attention to the big bets if you're scared of heat. Personally, even with my egregious bet spreads and action (300/3 is legit action according to a PB I'm friendly with lol), I have NEVER, not ONCE received heat. Maybe it's because all the PBs know me now, maybe it's because I don't act scared of them, who knows. Heat has never been an issue, and you can use that to your advantage.
All this being said, I stumbled across a very +EV situation a while back at FW that I thought I'd share....who here knows about the Player's Clubs (not the Dream Points program)? Raise your hand. These Player's Clubs are scattered about the casino and basically, they're free meals (no-points-subtracted-from-your-DP-card free). Depending on which one you go to, they range from small and sometimes cramped, to open, luxurious, and pretty effing sweet. A PB told me that to get into the smaller ones, you pretty much need to be running a $75-$100/hand LIFETIME avg (worry not, if you're betting even a $15 unit and spread 1-20, you should hit that easy as long as you call the boss over when you're betting big). I, myself, just got Player Development to card me in for weekends to the club in the 21st floor of the Pequot Tower (my lifetime avg is probably close to $200/hand). It's gorgeous up there btw. In any case, the free food is huge +EV, especially since it's a buffet and not extraordinarily bad for you (better than Subway and Nathan's Hot Dogs at least), and it's open bar with REALLY quality stuff if that's your particular brand of vodka, so to speak. So if you're betting big, call your local PB over and see if he/she can't get you into a Player's Club (they'll call a host desk). It's really good stuff.
How's everyone been lately?
