    Cashing out after big win or heat

    Should I always wait and come back later to cash out after heat even moderate?

    I am talking about PB sitting next to me and calling me by my first name. That kind of heat. I may have made a big mistake a few months ago by cashing out right away (I lost but I know the PB saw me ramp aggressively).

    Grosjean wrote that one should probably not cash out after play. How true is this?

    I read somewhere that one should not cash out right away after a big win.

    Assuming you rat holed chips well and the pit assigned them to another player, you have chips that they don't know about. If you cash out big at the cage, they may call the pit to make sure you didn't steal it etc. They will then confirm the amount. To avoid this, cash out half and do the rest another day (the cage usually won't care about smaller amounts).

    If they PB knows you by identity (players card) and you didn't rat. Doesn't matter really. You might as well. What reason is there for not cashing out?

    it is probably advice for non local , no player cards or don't play often at a store ( 1 visit a month or maybe 1 visit in 3 months). i believed by not going to the cage you lowered your choice of them having a clear full frontal shot for FRS?

    Unless you get backed off, or there is a reason you don't want them to have your picture such as you were trespassed, it's fine to go cash out. Don't be paranoid. Though, if this is a place you frequent often, then it couldn't hurt to stockpile chips. Especially if the count gets good and you don't want to have to rebuy you can dig in your pocket and pull out big chips to bet without delaying the game.

    Going to lose back the big win? What kind of advice is this? Counting is just one long game that never ends, and we're putting the money out in +EV situations. Nobody can control the cards, but we can put the money out in good counts and pray. If you do that, and have the BR to sustain the swings, the "big wins" will continue coming.

    In most places "big cheques" will require a call to the suits to change or a call of cheques play when they are bet. I am not sure bring big chips gets the result that you want. Bringing green chips on the other hand...

    "Cheques" is the way the British write the piece of paper that we call a "check."

    But, when the word means a "chip or counter used in gambling games," it's always "check," no matter which side of the ocean you're on. So NEVER write, "cheques play." It's always "checks."

    Check vs. cheque

    In American English, check is the standard spelling of the noun referring to a written order for a bank to pay a specified amount from deposited funds. Outside the U.S., the word is spelled cheque. But cheque is confined to this very narrow banking-related sense. All varieties of English use check for the many non-banking-related senses of the word—including (1) a restraint, (2) a pattern of small squares, (3) to halt, and (3) to inspect for accuracy or correctness.

    I write it that way because some people get confused when you write the word check. They associate it with take a look instead of referring to the promissory nature of the contract you engage in when you buy chips. I didn't know it was wrong. I just thought it made things clearer to new players. I guess I can risk misleading new players so you don't get whatever it is that compels you to correct grammar and spelling.

    It took a long time but I am starting to use effect/affect right without thinking about it. i.e. When I double check to make sure I did it right it is right for the way I now understand to be proper. For those that haven't been around long enough I did it wrong pretty much 100% of the time and had for my entire life. It was hard to change such a long bad habit. Thanks for helping me with that Don.

    While this is true and does prevent the slow down of the game, I do believe that for the sake of your longevity, it is better to buy in with cash and have the pit confirm your buyin. By pulling out hidden chips and betting it, the floor may not account for them and may just assume you have a bigger win than you really do (though they may wonder where the money came from). Secondly and most importantly, you give the illusion that you can lose, despite being a counter. That there will be times you rebuy and rebuy and rebuy. When I rebuy, I rebuy for exactly my next max bet, if I lose it, I rebuy again. Yes I have considered this pissing them off slightly, but you reinforce that despite being an AP (i assume they can tell), you can still lose.

    Don't you want that? Seems good for longevity. And you're only slowing it down by a RPH. Lastly all this was at frequent home casinos playing rated. Otherwise this would be silly

    "I guess I can risk misleading new players so you don't get whatever it is that compels you to correct grammar and spelling."

    I'm not "compelled" to do anything. I overlook 10 hideous errors everyday for the one that I bother to correct. That one is either something that others can also learn from or something that is more than just a casual typo. In the end, I do it to help people learn. Those not interested in the latter need not bother to read.
