Just one quick q, who will come to get you first, is it that Pit boss will call the surveillance, or the other way around that the surveillance will call the pit boss to report a counter, cuz I always keep an eye on the pitboss and make sure he/she is not watching me closely or picking up the phone, as I assume he is the first one to become suspicious and start to rattle, if anyone can share some procedure on how the casino works, it will be really helpful. thanks!
    At top bets of 2-3 green you will not get much heat off strip. When it becomes chunky green or lite black you will get heat.

    The pit usually initiates a skills check by calling EITS, so when your pit boss goes to a phone watch him as his movements will often tell you that you are his target.

    If you are 21-30 and look like a counter then good luck playing DD.

    If you are 60 with white hair and have your wife with you, then you can get some space. Have your wife correlate betting with you while she is drinking white wine and taking play signals on questionable hands.

    My point is , technical playing is about 25% of your problem, getting the money is an art form.
    Luck is nothing more than probability taken personally!

    thanks, that is quite true, I had one pitboss ask me if I am a dealer, which I denied. But to be honest, DD is like a gold mine, especially some joints only cut 0.5 deck. It is definitely the most beatable game in town. I probably would stay off strip for quite a while to grow my bankroll. Just curious what is the longest session that you guys have played in vegas, I usually hop from places to places, like at least 3 off strip casinos per day, and honestly I spent half of the time driving in town which is not the fun part.

    I am planning to keep my max bet to 4 green, is it still going to be heat free as in 2-3 greens?

    PB's may leave the pit to call on their cell phone to the EITS.

    Or in 1 case, non stop texting between critter, EITS, and games mgr., who hawked my heads up game for 20 minutes. It was an interesting game in that I crushed it with a low spread, with no backoff.
