    Yeah, I assumed it was along those lines, i've just never seen it abbreviated to CSM before, hence the confusion.

    Were you attacking any side bets, perhaps?

    Cut my teeth in that area. If you are talking about treasure island, it does not surprise me at all, mystic would surprise me, a couple years ago they were pretty tolerant of low stakes players who avoided the side bet. Day shift boss there is kinda a prick, otherwise they were always very polite with me.

    He said he played rated if he understood the question about refusal. Casinos have little tolerance for backcounting. You aren't playing any negative counts which is a powerful game. They don't want to increase your BR until you are a bigger threat. You probably played too often for their comfort as well. I doubt they would have worried about you if you were a less frequent visitor.

    Yeah I understood the question =) I did some backcounting (on the 4 deck i mentioned that i rarely play) earlier. I guess I really didn't know that they dont like backcounting.

    Because you are playing low stakes just avoid this casino for a few months, then go back on a different shift. Avoid any dealers or pit critters who might remember you.

    OP perhaps you were jumping your bets to often or never using any form of cover betting.

I have played at this particular casino MANY times before using the same 5 unit spread and yet, for some reason they considered me a "highly skilled player". I do NOT consider my game to be advanced at all really. Has anyone else experienced something so silly like this, and furthermore, why the hell would a massive house like this care about my piddly amounts? Thanks for the responses in advance.

    You should have become active on this board some while ago, not just after you lose two casinos, TI and Mystic, which in your area I consider a sizable negative to ev.

    Tom, I may have missed this, but are you a dealer now or maybe have been? From some of your language and examples I wonder if you are from, what I have referred to over the years, as the GNW, or, Great Northern Wilderness??

    You guys are so easy. Someone just made a new account to have fun with you guys.

    You can't trust anyone with fewer than 100 posts in BJ forums.

    Pretty random assumption. But, I would expect it from someone with your username.
