    Scary moment

    What to do when you find good small casino. And it is situated not in the populated area outside the town. Casino has one bj table, poker table and roulette. Casino is empty most of the time. You are going to play blackjack heads up. Pit boss has nothing to do and goes to your table to watch the game. Mayby he or she tries to start some conversation "Where are u come from" "Do u have some vacation here" and his stare penetrates you
    Do you leave knowing that when you come later the conditions could be same?

    If you are successful at finding dead conditions at a casino you have to be ready for an audience. I don't play any joints similar to what you are describing but I do play big joints when I know I will be the only guy playing in the pit. It is not easy to find but it is out there if you do your scouting. In this instance you have the suits with nothing to do and the EITS. Most of the time the suits will watch just to be entertained. You must adjust your strategy of play accordingly to remain undetected and return for such great conditions again. Your assessment of the crew and the EITS tolerances are of paramount importance and reading the signs of heat is a skill as important as any other in your arsenal in these conditions. One of the places I play is either very tolerant or totally clueless. Either one works for me. I have milked it for years. When I don't show up for a while I get a call from the table games manager trying to entice me to return. Another place is a real sweatshop. You can't play there long if the conditions are a dead casino. I don't think they have a clue but they have about 0 tolerance. Every now and then I have to lay low for a while when I lose discipline and push what I can get away with. They really enjoy having me in the casino but that only gets you a little more tolerance. You must judge where to draw the line.

    The point is use your skillz and Spidy Senses to the max to get what you can get and get out with the ability to come back if you are planning on returning. If you won't be back you can throw caution to the wind if you are comfortable with the casino information sharing issue involved that may cause more than just losing that game.
