TC 7.5, Soft 19 vs 6, Pit Boss Hawking Me

[seriousplayer]

Been playing there for about 2 solid years. And my spread used to hit table max (dealers calling it every time) and every week. Since then I've brought it down.
Despite my spread sounds ridiculous, one learns the threshold of what you can and can't get away with at each given place.
$10 to 2 x $250 is relatively ZERO HEAT at my place.
After writing this, I guess it emphasizes how good I got it. Will attempt to hold back in the future.

Seriously though, 2 years of spreading 2 x $300+. Why wouldn't I think I could get away with spreading more?
I guess the whole, "enough is enough" comes in play.

I thank you and everyone else.

With an eight deck H17 game it is not aggressive at all to spread from 10 to 2x250. You bet spread might bet offset by the high house edge of the eight deck H17 games. If you are going to spread 2x250 I would do it in a different way. I would bet $250 dollars on one hand then tell someone you know to wongin for another $250 when the count turns highly positive. Signal the person you know on how to play the hand. That way you can fool the pit crew on duty.

It goes to show, assuming you have a solid winning record.

Sometimes you have a honeypot of a place that simply keeps on giving - very much like the clap. Keep it your personal secret. Worst thing you can do is let others in on this apparent treasure trove.it will get slashed and burned in no time. I've seen it happen.

They know what you're doing, and when they've had enough, they'll get you with a dose of penicillin.

I actually wanted to start another thread on this, but I guess I'll shoot it up in another day or so to not spam the board. I guess we can assume where I'm going with this. Want to avoid starting it here. I guess I'll start the new thread. Been curious for a while. **edit did some searching on the forum, found it**

Yeah I had this thought in the back of my mind. Thus I only gave the single detail of H17.
As for the pit bosses knowing, a few and dealers alike have joking called me out on it. Doesn't take much to catch one once you know a bit, at least a simple straight forward AP like myself.

Assuming I'm correct - some serious advice.
I get the impression that you're young aggressive and have seriously going at it for a couple if years. You're eager to learn, make money and set the world on fire.

You're not ready to set the world on fire. Hone your skills, including index play, and really work on the casino comportment, you're not as seasoned as you think you are, which is not to say that you are not making money. You don't have to do it in a day. I seem to recall a recent post of yours where you blew your brains out in some monster count. Go find that post and reread my response to it.

About 8 years ago, I thought I was the best there was. I was actually not bad, but I wasn't that good. I thought the same thing every couple of years, until I realized I was still getting smarter. This pleasant cycle kept repeating. It's about nuances now which includes comportment and of course, ever evolving skill, but who knows - I may well think differently in a while. In any event, good luck.

Wow, what a hand and what a story..Sorry, for your lose..Its loses on hands like those, that make it difficult to continue playing..It kinda reminds me of the XX vs 6 hand and whether or not you should split it up to FOUR times or not, esp. when you have Max Bets on the hand and the count still calls for it..I Guess the Short Answer would be as long as TC was still +7 and you had a VERY healthy BR, then by all means take a deep breath and Go for it as you did..The count is still well above Risk Averse index for this hand correct?
Now that being said(and trying to take in a little consideration for heat and variance) i would of played it like i sometimes do with XX vs 6 with MaxBets and found a bit of a "aggressive compromise" in there, and would only split MY Tens up to 3 times even though i could of easily split up to four times..Had you only been playing TWO hands then i def. would of doubled both of them. But since it was 3 hands of A8 vs 6 i more than likely would of doubled 2 of the 3 and just possibly one of them depending on the count..Call it conservative if you want, but it seems to keep things flowing a little smoother at the table, with the other players, variance, heat and emotions, even though it wasnt "exactly" the correct thing to do..Btw, i like the 3 hands in high counts Youll get'em next time
