This is a regular occurrence at this one particular casino. I don't play for a living, so I have less to sweat about. I do carry myself well. I'm quiet and have great manners. The other players enjoy me. I'm happy to let them play the side bet on my spot, etc. Overall, it's very pleasant because I play rated, and still get comps without any push back. At a sister property of the one I have in mind, one floor will tell another floor to watch me. The suit is 3 feet from the table and goes, "He's spreading!" Just not the kind of heat I'm used to.
The real reason for my post is I'm very interested in casinos that employ the countermeasure of cutting the shoe in half instead of backing you off. I've had dealers preferential shuffle on single or double deck games - OK that I get. Notifying every dealer to cut the shoe in half instead of telling me to play slots seems like such an unusual management strategy. I can only infer at this point that it is word from the big boss not to back anyone off. Maybe this would change if my spread was something like $25 - 3x $2,500.
Lol I have to add one last thing. This property I'm speaking of isn't huge, but it has 3 or 4 distinct pits excluding HL, one of which is well out of view of the others. If I move, I make at least one suit jog over to the other pit to have a conversation with that supervisor, use the phone call upstairs; again, circus lol. They just take it like a champ.
