Help interpreting heat at my local game

Time will tell. I think my larger mistake was continuing to play after security showed up so they could count me down, which they probably hadn’t yet.

Security does not "come down" to count you down, they simply tell surveillance to rewind the video and count you down. If they suspect you are a counter, then this will be the confirmation and then you will get a visit.

Often it’s not an unpleasant visit...sometimes it’s actually flattering, like when they say ‘You are too good for us, please play anything else but BJ in this casino” or “we have made a business decision that you are harmful to our business, so kindly play something else”...

I don't find it flattering. I find it immoral with no sense of fair play. It's their game, their rules, yet if you have the ability to win, you can't play. There are pictures on the walls of slot jackpot winners. Why no pics or table game winners? Why no sign at the entrance, "only losers and idiots welcome"?

Do supermarkets or department stores bar people who only buy on-sale items?
Do buffets throw out fat people?

I did not think of it that way, more like someone walk8ng around not buying anything, popping candy or grapes.

Making bets within the table limits while playing your hand as you see fit is within the rules. Eating those items in a grocery store before paying isn't.
