    Careless play

    With careless and blatant play comes with the burning of games and fixed dealers. I would not play when I am being scrutinized to preserve the opportunity for another time with a better plan. Don't destroy games with careless play . Travelling pros with the intent to burn games could be met by local player's resistance . I personally have never "rat" anyone one out. How would you feel if someone come to crash your party? The so called "PROS " so play like pros and show some gamesmanship and finesse. i know many will disagree and i will get bash.. Just like fishing , when you over fished then there is no more fish left.

    Locals can group together and "burn" your money through expenses and crowd the conditions and slow down the plays ,block all seats . Respect and discreteness play a role here.

    Another comment to throw out - the travelling man who plays min, then spreads to table max in multiple spots, then wongs out in negatives - really piggish.

    I am not addressing this issues . Everyone is self serving ,there is not a doubt in my mind. It is more of a trying to sustain resource ( as long as possible) issues . An example would be why does a game only lasted for 3 days while it lasted 2 years with everyone. the lone wolf probably got 2k - 3k Ev while collectively we got 60k - 100k EV . at our back yard.

    Most serious pros wouldn't go to Reno because of the crappy conditions. At least not to count BJ. I am sure there are a lot of other opportunities to exploit.

    In my observation its more often the locals trying to play the same games/dealers three times a week "milking" it, who often go out of their way to show hostility trying to prevent anyone else from playing, who burn the games just as often as the guys who come in for a weekend every few months and play hard but with some level of restraint when appropriate. Camping locals or travelers, you'll likely find a comparable amount of game burners in both crowds without searching too hard.

    The thread is to promote respectful play. with the continuation of " crash" and burn approach , how many games that is playable will be left. The crazy 3 card cut, The do it yourself no spotter approach, The" baccarat cut" breaker killer
    ( harder to gauge the staff sharpness). all of these are careless play. If one guys sees the other guy is doing it , guess what they are going do ? they will turn into a monkey

    locals usually know better , that is the non ploppy local not necessary a full blown AP.
