    -Hit the home casino after a +30 betting unit win in a non home casino, hoping to catch a cooler shoe, lose and go back out.
    -Play unrated at non home casinos for no more than 3 shoes, or until one reaches TC+3, quit whatever the result and go to another casino.


    Home casino
    - Play rated, don’t play HL ever, play the floor and rathole 2h of EV every hour in green chips. Cash em on bathroom breaks no more than 2 times a day.
    - I toke half a hour of EV to dealers that give me a 30 betting unit shoe.
    - pick a ploppy game at low stakes after monster +50 betting unit shoes, I like craps on the pass line and come or Caribbean stud.
    I have never played rated, and don't plan to. And I would never recommend your betting advice, or other advice.

    And the hard one - tip.
    Yeah I think both go a long way. It's not hard to be friendly, I think that does help a lot.
    I used to tip too much...but now I keep it under control.
    I think both are enhanced by pretending to be a drinker...be friendly and engaged with other players. As opposed to your typical counter, thanks.

    You did not read comments on your own post....some great AP’s are telling you it does not enhance anything..

    Playing rated, yes I agree with that. In my local joint it would be more detrimental than not because it would be weird for people not to take the comps. It’s a thing buddy.

    As for the rest of your comment, my advice is bad as opposed to what? I didn’t make any betting advise in my comment, just to know what is a big win with a betting unit representation.

    Angry Counter, don’t let a teenager bother you. Whenever he loses at his local casino (using a fake drivers license), he has the need to get on this forum and take out his hostilities.

    You rathole 2 hours of EV every hour? You can't really be serious about that? Lol
    And are you sure that playing rated is less detrimental in the long run?
    How long have you been playing, truthfully? And yes, giving up your identity for a few free buffets that are worth nothing is definitely a thing buddy.

    Yes I do rathole 2 hours of EV every hour in my local joint, been doing it for long.

    No I didn’t say playing rated is less detrimental in the long run. I mean a lot of local casino joints will back you off faster if you don’t play rated and bet big, because everybody is after the comps. Surveillance will immediately target you. I’ll admit I fell into the EV help for red chips in my early days and lost a Vegas chain and TI, but this helped me to feel comfortable early on. Now I don’t play rated where I can get away with it like Vegas.

    What I’m saying is if you play rated you must rathole, a winning record will make the back off happen for sure.

    Ignoring your lame attack now that I have explained why playing rated has earned me longevity in my local joint, I have 1800 hours in a span of 3 years across 3 countries. I’ve only been backed off 3 times, and all 3 instances were at Vegas.

    Ok I get it...you play rated at your local casinos. In my opinion that is bad advice, and not what I am asking about in this thread.
    I don't care about anything else you have said, just stick to the thread or leave.

    You have edited all of your responses carefully I see. And I am still not interested. You have given your responses.
    Please stop responding to my thread. Let's see what others will contribute, thanks.
