should be another big concern for a VERY FEW select players "this does not apply to low level play" who like to play higher stakes games locally to consider and that is ploppy heat from heavy play regulars. I know everyone is laughing and saying things like there is someone else at the table, I did not realize that. Personally I always make the plays that I want to make but I am well AWARE of whom I am playing with and will avoid, and never underestimate the trouble that a black chip player who is a regular can cause. Places I play there are many of them and thankfully they often like to play together. Three you like to train ploppies, me I like to avoid the local heavy hitters and I make it a point to recognize every one of them. Yes, the better count systems playing efficiencies will get you some extra cash, BUT EQUALLY important is keeping a low profile, knowing who you are playing with, and most important being welcome back."
Bosox makes some sense excellent points. At our regular hangouts, the house knows we're counting - and they really don't want us pissing off the Chinese mamas, and the whales. Treat both, if at all possible, with respect.
When it comes to whales, I have many times had a min $25 bet out with my ploppy beside me, in a spot with 2 x 200 or 300 out. I always knew what the proper play was, though I have no issues deferring to ploppy basic. This is not a Zee tactic worrying about that the wrath of table mates, but a purposeful manoever - I'll say to the ploppy - I can stay, or I can hit, I really don't give a shit what I do - do you have a preference. This diffuses any possible repercussions, may even result in a win for the ploppy when he would have lost, there's kharma at the table and the critters are happy.
