Tokes spread over > 20 hrs.
What I phrased so badly Re:
How much I spent in 'tokes.
The aggregate, (on a day by
day to basis), was between a
half stack of REDS and three
times that much
I had rather good reason(s) to toke
with so much aplomb and panache.
The Flash Protocols embrace: toking
frequently, (with very tiny amounts)
and at the right (non-random) times!
Ha what tolerance.
I consider myself a mid skill level counter, not a rookie and certainly not a pro. I've made a himble profit over an amount of time, but nothing to write to home about.
Fairly recently I've noticed pit staff acting very unusual around me when I play. For the first time ever tonight i had a dealer yell:
"Chip up!"
when I raised my bet from $15 to a lowsy $30. This is not standard procedure, and was the first time I've heatd them call that besides the occassional "black chip action" when whales bet big. That and I've also noticed security kinda just lingering around me, and they now they say bye to me when I leave, which is also unusual.
Is this an omen? I live in a country where casinos cant actually bar me from the premises because of skillful play. They can however place certain restrictions on how I play i.e bets limited to 1-3 of initial bet, 1 box only, no MSE etc.
The chip up call is a little weird. Have you played with this dealer before with him not calling that?
Dunno about security. I'm usually friendly to them. Sometimes they'll come say hi or chat if they're allowed and always say bye to me if they know me. They might just like you, which is good. If their interaction with you is cold, then it's more likely heat.

Yeah I have. He's never done it before, and its certainly not standard procedure. It was really weird, especially for a small bet like $30.
The security thing could be anything I guess. Thats probably just patanoid jitters in hindsight.
Another thing; they've been sorta hassling me about getting a playercard, or asking if I have one. They only found out what my name was because I entered a BJ a couple weeks ago, and an acquaintance said my name. I dont want one because I dont want them having my details and deeper scrutiny over wins/loses, comps be damned.
This is from a group that has a monopoly on slot machines in the entire state, as well as numerous luxury hotels and bottleshops. They shouldnt be so sweaty surely..
At some point your local casinos will realize that you have not lost money over the long term like you should have. At this point, the axe will mercilessly fall.
I was overly welcomed and grossly overcomped for years at my local stores. Suddenly and out of nowhere, I was given the cold shoulder and 86ed from not only the casinos, but even from the gas station that they own down the street.
My point is that your local places will unfortunately not last forever. Might as well squeeze the profit while you can until they finally realize what is happening.
