Having dealt, I guarantee you a lot of perceived heat isn't heat at all. Yeah, the guys on here betting big money are likely getting it. But if you are betting less than $150 or $200 a hand, they likely are just watching to see if they may need to get a fill, or making sure a newer dealer isn't overpaying. The floor is anal about black, purple and orange cheques so they want to account for any changes. You can call out "cheques play" or "black action" all you want but good chance no reason to worry. I remember dealing double deck and a guy was likely counting; he spread $25 to $500. He had a good shoe or two and I was like, OK lets see what you got and buried him in the third shoe. The reality is most (floor) have no idea what to look for. They think doubling down on hard 12 is a bigger signal of a card counter than sporadic use of insurance. Surveillance may watch but a good chance they are watching high limit, bacc, craps or looking for attractive women. It definitely gave me the perspective to never waste money on cover in my play.
