Just reading the cover information, it is quite easy for a Las Vegas AP to say to leave after a max bet. When I drive 2-3 hours to play at a casino, and not only expose my max bet in the first shoe, but lose it, then it's awful hard to walk away, drive 2-3 hours home. It's a bit easier if you have won at least a couple of hundred, a lot easier if you have won n $500+.

My spread s the same, 1-6 with max bet around $150-$175. I think a combination of my age, profession (I play rated) plus some rat holing, being friendly with the pit, ensuring they know when I leave having lost, leaving at appropriate times when pit is occupied and such makes a difference. I suppose if I was in my 20's, playing unrated, I would get a lot more scrutiny.
