What an ass!!!

You mean to say the people that have repeatedly, and continuously tried to help me from being my own worst enemy, and are still trying to help me despite me being such an idiot that I thought I knew more than the myriad of real APs that walked the same path I am on before me and were giving me advice that would have helped me avoid or at least stave off my current situation. Like all those that play rated and think they are fooling the casino, you failed to realize they knew exactly what you were doing and were merely tolerating you as long as they didn't view as as a threat or nuisance. Once you start playing for meaningful stakes or they assess you as being a big enough threat they acted against you. It was your stakes and the fact that you game has so many holes in it that made them tolerate you for as long as they did. Then you hit one of the tolerance thresholds. Maybe you won too much. Maybe you overstayed your welcome regularly by not taking the hint it was time to leave. Maybe you visited too frequently or played for too long on some visits. My bet is this post tells the story:

I leave the HL room, wander around casino a few minutes, sit down at a $10 table. Before the dealer gives me chips, phone rings in pit, pit guy picks it up, glances at me. As the dealer is getting the 6 decks out of the ASM, but rushes over, whispers to dealer, dealer cuts off 3 decks. I leave.
You clearly didn't get the message it was time to leave even after they took countermeasures. It makes me wonder how many times they gave you not so subtle clues that you had overstayed your welcome and you just kept playing. If they can't train you to stay within tolerances they will always act against you. If you are so clueless that you can't read the signs that they make obvious at most casinos then you can expect them to take more extreme measures.
