After spending about 2 years away from the casino that had put me on the OSN, had taken countermeasures against me, after ownership had changed hands, I had started going back, with very slight change in appearance, avoided those pit folks who might recognize me and started playing deck games, then even sneaking into the HL room for very short sessions. I was slightly above even after some 6 sessions.

Tonight, Zi went in and started playing a 6 deck, minimum $15 game. I joined it mid deck, flatbetted thru to the end of the shoe and as dealer was reaching for the ASM, couple of pit guys came over. I am at 3rd base, he is at first. He had been betting $25 with $5on each side bet. First, the pit guy told him that they were only going to deal one shoe of the 6 deck shoe. I thought he had been busted but the guy came over and asked me if I had heard. I said I did not understand. He said that they were going to deal only one shoe here and whichever table I sat at. Since I had only been betting $15, I gave him an incredulous look, said “me? “. He said yes and I moved away.

Since most of the tables were crowded on this Saturday night, I considered testing the guy but decided I did not want to spoil it for folks at other tables.

So I came home, posting this.
