I've also had them shuffle up on me when I was playing heads up.
If they actually suspect you to be an AP, they're not not going to give out any subtle hints or program their shuffle machines to "clump cards." They're just going to two-round you, or deal out 1/2 deck.
the point is that they do not have to check if you are an AP, do not have to upset big bettor ploppies. Say you are sitting at a table betting $25-$150 at a DD game and the ploppy is flat betting $200, they simply turn on a programmed ASM that affects the AP more than the flat betting ploppy. Count gets high, you bet more, the low cards keep coming. Another cut and the first round everyone gets big cards, count is negative and remains that way most of the time. Other options can be programmed.
The idea that they can remove 2 cards, place face down, the ASM comes to a stop, they look at the window in the ASM and tell the two face down card denominations accurately when they test the ASM means that they also have the capacity to pre-program ASM's. Now, I agree that they are unlikely to do it most of the time but can do it if they suspect AP's
