I recently completed reading Burning the Tables and I was extremely interested in the chapter concerning green chip play. I like the simple betting strategy and so far in simulations when using HEAT I hardly ever seem to trigger any reaction. I have been using the strategy including the few cover plays/deviations he is suggesting as part of his UG strategy as well. As a recently self-promoted green chip player I am intrigued with this strategy and it's main goal of providing decent EV but also flying under the radar of the pit boss. Last weekend I played at a local casino and there was this guy at the table ( total of 3 of us ) and he would spread from the table min($25) to the max $1000 in the space of 3 hands. He played for less than an hour before he got backed off and was down probably $2k from my guestimation. I think he was counting because many times we increased our bets at the same time. I finished after just under 2 hours of play with a $450.00 increase.. Little stress, enjoyed playing more and tipped my dealer as well. I guess I am interested in hearing if anyone else has used Ian's green chip strategy and had any observations they could share using it?
