Leave table unnoticed?

Hey again.
I know I post a lot but you are my only source to improve my game ;)

I've noticed with the Red 7 that I early in the game have to leave the table. Isn't it weird that I leave just to play at another table? My casino only have about 7 Blackjack tables.

Do you wait or don't you care?

Hey Ravn, what count are you leaving the table at? -1/-2, etc... If you are trying to only play positive situations then there are better ways to do so with only 7 tables available. Bathroom breaks, cell phone calls, drink refills, cigarette breaks, checking on wife that is "losing all that money" in the slots, etc...

If I should play correctly then there are times where I need to leave after 2 hands. Isn't that weird or shall I just go straight to the bathroom or head somewhere?

If you plan on wonging out often, don't buy in for a lot of chips, keep them in your hands and play standing up, jumping from table to table. When you've found a "lucky dealer" or some such nonsense (a positive shoe) you sit down and raise your bets. When the shoe is over, color up if you have a bunch of chips and use the restroom or something

This playing from a handful of chips and table hopping also makes it easier to pocket chips w/o being noticed and makes your play harder to track in general

There is one problem with keeping your chips in your hands. If the pit is paranoid, they may think you are trying to cap bets and this could draw extra attention.

This is not really that prevelant a thought. Many players wander around the pits with chips in their hands. It is not something to worry about. Do not worry about sitting around dreaming up what possible worries a pit may have. Sure a player with chips in their hand could be capping, but its those that you don't see the chips that really are and thats there alibi, no chips, wasn't me. What ifs are dangerous thoughts for fledgling AP's, it will make you paranoid and act less than what should come natural, like walking around a casino with chips in your hand. Heres a tip from a real player on how to handle yourself. Think to yourself how would a ploppy gambler act and do it, more than think how would a card counter/AP act and not do it. Stop thinking everyone knows how ap's act, go with what is universally known by the pits, how a gambler acts. Really easy stuff once you get around the casinos and observe. Scouting is key to more than just playing conditions, you can build an act just by watching how the pit is handling its patrons.

1. I did not say anything like "walking around a casino with chips in your hand." There is clearly nothing whatsoever wrong with that. Doubling down when you have hands full of chips is an entirely different matter. Any pit not watching such a player is not handling one of their primary jobs.

2. Yes, we all know you are the only "real player," and the rest of us are phonies. We picked that up the first 17 times you said it (under this alias alone).

Just don't move your hand full of chips near your bet and it should be fine. When you double, get the chips needed for the double, and push them out in a way that they are visible.

I wouldn't be too paranoid of being accused of capping; just double in a way that it's clear that you aren't capping.

Agree. And I'm not talking at all about player paranoia. I'm talking about pit paranoia. One should avoid giving any reasons for an increase in paranoia on the other side. It's enough that we need to avoid looking like a counter. You don't want to give any signal that you're a possible cheat -- the real target of surv.

Do what you can to make the other side feel comfortable with your presence.

Easy Mr. sensitive I just stated I was a real player, not that I was the "only" real player. Wow, I try to be helpful and nice, and this type of sarcasm is my reward, oh the humanity. Listen Normie, no need to jump up and attack me, I don't think your a phony, you are a great software designer. Nothing wrong with that.

You really need to look at your posting history. Under this and the many other aliases that you have used.

QFIT, that was the wrong time to attack MAZ, that was one of the most polite posts of his I have seen on here :grin:
Guess it hit the threshold. I'm bored of the "I'm a real player" posts. And boredom is the greatest sin.:)

Don't worry I think I will be okay, as I understand. I am bored of the same thing based on criteria I know to be false and inaccurate. Too many experts. I have NEVER stated anything that could ever be construed as false, regardless of how you may object to my wording or perceived coarseness. Its my gift of charm that really shines through in the blunt truths I like to interject when I see that someone is really off base with practicality. :grin:

By the way, I reject the term "sin" as I believe there is nothing in existence that indeed warrants such an act of judgement. ;)

Actually, as I am trying to be "Always Warm And Fuzzy", I believe Maz is also, and I think that is a very commendable and a genuine warm hearted emotion.:gaga:

We are very lucky to have the likes of Maz and Bojack, Yourself and D-BO, Sage, among others,, on this site community. :cool:

Let us all try and get along and show respect, for it is truly the lack of respect that is the root of all problems.:)

AS for Maz posting under different names, I am not ware of that at all:confused:

As for chips in the hand,,,try a slot coin container to carry them around.;)

Always Warm And Fuzzy",
