Fair point. So far I've been playing at some of these casinos for 10 years fairly regularly with no problems. Obviously things can change at anytime. The key is I always say under their "check play" threshold and I blend in pretty good.

Believe it or not, ploppies, dealers and pit bosses still help me out with my hands. When the play is close, I take their advice. Bottom line is I act like a ploppy and don't mind when the table gets upset at me for doing things like hitting the 2 against the dealer's 3 and taking the dealer's "bust card". I appoligize and tell the table I'll try to do better the next time. It doesn't bother me that the ploppies, dealer and pit boss sometimes thinks I'm the least informed player at the table. In fact, I kind of like playing that role.

Like I said, I'm smarter (as far as "getting away with it") today then I was 10 years ago. At the casino where I'm most aggressive, I have been playing rated for 20 years without issues. At this casino, I will never take them for more than $2,000 in a weekend because they have been very good to me, comping me on everything whenever I go there.
