    Shocked This Resulted In My Tap. WDYT?

    So I've been around a while, and had my share of back offs. For the first time (in a very long while, as long as my memory serves), this is the first of being backed off without any noticeable heat. Now perhaps I"m just used to people glancing at me, I did catch the eyes of a PB from far away looking towards my direction, but the clear signs of PB huddling for a "group discussion" or the "phone call to EITS in front of me" did not occur.

    In fact, being banned here, REALLY surprised me. And I'm always looking for any reason to seriously leave before the tap. I'm usually good at noticing (interpreting is a different story).

    1. Small casino, I was rat holing. EITS may see me cusp $75-100 in one smooth move. Obviously suspect move.

    2. Probably what nailed me tbh. Rec spreaded to 2 hands of $75-100, I said I'll join you. And went "all-in". From a $25 to $100 spread throughout, I blasted everything I had and went 2 x 200+. The hand managed to win. And I went back to a $75 (off the top bet) and then dropped back down to $50. And before I could drop to 25 (3rd hand of the shoe, I got backed off). --------> IMHO this mimics casuals pretty well.

    Usually I would bounce after a max-max bet like that, but the rec next to me went back to 1 hand of $25. So I thought we looked very similar.

    Lastly the title was misleading, I"m not shocked that my spread got me kicked. I'm shocked, I got kicked, without any heat. ----

    Well update:

    After the boot, I went to a different casino on the following day. Upon sitting down, normal practice, was asked if I wanted a players card, to which I declined. However this time around, the PB, stared at my ID for a few seconds longer than normal. And I really meant stare. I thought a little of it, but continued my business.

    It's important to note, I have never seen any of these PBs before. I thought it was awesome, because this was my first time hitting this shift.

    Put out my first bet, another PB came over, half away from my table, but watching towards my direction. Within 3-4 hands, I'm starting to notice a 3rd PB, not ontop of me, but in the area. Now I know I'm fcked, almost. I let my bet ride, into the negative count, (keep in mind, we just started 2-3 mins), and the 4th PB comes over. I start my act, sweating the action, 4th pb tries to peak at my cards from the left side. (1 left, 1 middle, 2 right PBs). I lose that hand, and immediately walk.

    I looked into the chain properties, somehow they are not linked (under the same gaming, for instance, boyd, station, or caesars etc).

    If I am fliered, how come I managed to find play time at other casinos in the area. I would assume they would be in sync with each other, as the 1st tap, and the 2nd tap, aren't of the same gaming licensing group, from what I understand.
