OMG.

I play HL Ameristar, and have NO reason to suspect clumping, cheating, or other voodoo at all. I am a lifetime winner there, but I have lost there too. In fact, I just had a pretty decent couple sessions there recently.

Your advantage doesn't ramp as much at extremely high counts--the graph goes up slower. Playing efficiency becomes more important, and you're standing vs hitting on some weak stiff hands, say a 14 v A. (Especially if you don't know if there's and extra seven or two in that last half deck.)

Just because you're sitting at a TC 8 doesn't guarantee a winning session. Likewise, I had some good variance on a -11 TC shoe, and made some money. (My protocol is to walk once I've lost 2 hands at -2, so I can say the table is unlucky. It's cover. But it never happened, and I won almost every hand in those crappy counts. I didn't complain...)
