At local casinos, about the same number as yours, I lasted 5 years ((now I play at two of those after a long break and anonymously) and I played with a Players Card. If you get a players card (and most generally recommend you don’t), there are a few things you should do. I am of the opinion that as a newbie, it’s ok to use a Players Card. Some here have not played with a Players Card in decades or never and have no clue of the benefits of it. One, there is palpably less scrutiny when you use one. Two, often, after a losing session, I could ask for a comp and take dinner home to family. Three, I got and still get comped rooms in Las Vegas and other places. However, when traveling, I use a Players Card judiciously. Many use a Players Card with one chain for the comps, play anonymous at other casinos and that is an option too.
First, use smaller spreads. Second, short sessions of an hour or less. Third, regularly book losing sessions. This does not mean intentionally losing but sometimes quitting when behind (instead of playing till you get even or win, it’s not easy for newbies to quit when slightly behind), keep win/loss session ratio close to 50%. Fourth, use only SOME ratholing of a few red chips. Fifth, if winning, leave at dealer changes. When new dealer is approaching, put away some chips, color up (Pit May come when dealer announces amount) when new dealer starts. Pit will note down the amount of color up. At cashier, color up with just that amount, go to coffee shop or take a stroll, walk in and color up the rest. Sixth, request your win/loss record at the Players Club desk from time to time.
There me may be others.
