    Max session win for survival/avoid BO

    I am wondering if anyone has an upper limit of a session win. I know that many play short sessions and some walk away after showing their max bet. For example, the other day I went down to casino floor at 7:00 a.m. Usually, or often, at this casino, the HL room is not open and a few ploppies are down at the $10 min. Main floor 6 deck games in early weekday mornings but this time, there was one $25 min., DD table open in the HL room. One ploppy, one dealer and one pit guy. Pit guy watching Wimbledon tennis, ploppy flat betting $25-$50.

    I sat down, changed $250 (check change called out, Pit glances, smiles at me, goes back to TV) placed 2 x$25. Won 1 bet, lost the other, RC is +4. Put 2x $50. Got a BJ and a 6/5 (doubled) won both bets, count stayed up In positive territory. Got BJ on 4 straight rounds on one or the other hand. On the 4th BJ, both ploppy and dealer yelled in shock, the pit looks at table, shocked at pile of Green chips in front of me. I had played 2 x $125 and was pulling in the chips when Pit got attentive. At end of first shoe, my $250 was over $1300.

    I made some crack about wife upstairs waiting for me to bring coffee up and had to leave, be back later and left.

    My question is whether there are times when you cut a short session to one round and leave (as I did) or stick around for next shoe, make a few random bets to throw away heat or just go on and keep playing the 45 min. Or 1 hour planned short session or what? I am new to playing unrated and concerned about BO.

    Based upon spread and max bet, do you have a win amount where you would leave even if you had not shown your max bet? Is too big a single session win asking for a BO?

    No way. Why quit when the going gets good? Run up the score. The same hit and run artists that love to lock up a measly $500 win are invariably the same idiots who are willing to grind five hours when they are stuck playing in piss poor conditions and so tired they can't even count straight. If conditions are optimal, fast game, good rules, nice cut, I'm winning, then I'm going to stick around and bleed them dry. And if they back me off? What do I care. There's like 10,000 casinos in this world, new ones popping up every day and once I've played them all the people who banned me at the first ones will be long gone anyway so you just start all over again.

    Im newb i cant tell, but would you scare them that easily with that 1 to 5 spread? Don says in the book he use 1 to 2×6 betting spread. I see many people betting $200 300 on $25 table. Im playing $15 at same casino with 1 to 2×6 betting spread 5 days a week, sometimes i play $25 table with same betting spread too, and i always give my player card. I remember i saw in the forum someone says he been play years in the same casino give player card everytime and never get banned. "I started play at my casino since jan this year as normal player, and i lost alot. Then i start counting cards and I learn alot from professional people here, i finally start winning for the past month " i play 5.6 hours a day in there now. Do you think i would draw their attention soon?

    Youre investing more than 330 minutes per week in one casino? You practically live there. How do they not notice you? That's my question.

    Meistro, I don't want to travel as much as you seem to, want to continue playing in the same casinos in the same few states and I am seeking advice from those longevity type AP's (KJ used to be one).

    330 minutes a week is only 5.5 hours.

    5.5 hours a day would practically be living there.

    Zee, even though you are playing unrated, they still assign a name to you or distinguishing feature. In your case 6' 9'' oriental. I am surprised you are concerned, considering in the previous city that you lived, at one point I believe you played rated something "we can look this up" like 93 consecutive days averaging about 50 hours a week. Always using the same line that your occupation was as a professional in the medical field who does not need the money, and you only play to socialize. You had it down to a science. When you walked in the door everyone said hi Zee.

    You are giving them everything they need to build on accurate profile on you. The content of that profile will impact your longevity.

    5.5 hrs at one place (more than once a week) is too much.

    But what is even more important is that you have convinced
    yourself that "rat holing" chips is a good idea, as if the E I T S
    somehow cannot see you.

    If they still take your action then you're just small fish and of no concern. Your camo to them could just be another degenerate gambler, pissing away money for hours everyday who sometimes gets "lucky".

    I say just run with it. If there's no other casinos around within a reasonable distance then you might be better to cool it off a bit, but if there is just go for it.
