So I've decided to refine my game a little more after reading many helpful posts. I'm still using ho2 count for about 75% of my decisions, and surrendering my 16s more often. I'm still not ramping bets when the shoes are obviously awful and the count is high (maybe around 10-15% of the time), and I'm betting more units on negative count shoes when it's going good.
Out of I think 6 different visits: I lost a lot on one day (-$5000. My god, super depressing), close to even on another (i think it went from +500 to -$1000 to +2000 to -$1500 to -$300 over the course of maybe 3 hours), and +$19,000 on the other 3 or 4 sessions. My brain is kind of a blur thinking about it.
Anyway, on to the possible back off on my last visit. So I was playing for a long time, total played was around 30 hours straight on the $25 tables. Somewhere around the 15th hour I had to take a dump because the food I ordered contained some peppers that I requested be taken out, but of course they didn't. I have a sensitive stomach. Anyway, I was in the middle of a great stretch at the table, dealers were just busting everything for an hour or so. I held it as long as I could, and ran as fast as I could to the bathroom, but halfway there it was already late. So saving the details, my underpants got a bit stained to say the least. Anyway, I cleaned up as best I could, and then went back to the tables. I was up at this point close to $4000 because that table was just awesome, and I was pressing. I lost about $500 over the course of the next 6 hours or so. And then around the 26th hour or so this ***** of a woman and her friend sit down next to me, and within maybe 5 minutes starts complaining about some smell. I hope she's not talking about me, but I say to the effect that there's a lot of smokers in the casino. Table kind of sucks and I move to another table. A few hours later, I'm going through a pretty good run with another guy at the table. I recover the amount I gave back and add an additional $1000 when the same woman walks over to play at the table and says the bottom of my pants are wet and gives me a scrunched face. I'm not sure why she made a point to say that out loud, but she then calls over the pit boss to complain about me right in front of me saying that I smell and soiled myself. Didn't say two words to this bat and she's ruining my mood and the good vibes at the table. Pretty much the rudest person I've ever experienced at a casino. Anyway I play for another 10 minutes winning another $200 before getting a tap on the shoulder. Standing there are the pit boss's bosses. I panic in my head. I don't recall making too many big bets under positive counts in the last few hours, and then they say that the casino has received a number of complaints about my hygiene, and they ask me to color up my chips and leave for the day. I just say ok and then leave.
I'm not sure what to make of this as this could be a back off due to my play, or it could be something else. I'm taking a break from there for now as I don't want to be banned from there.
