As title says. Been playing a few different stores lately, trying some newer ones out and the such. Played yesterday at the 1 for the first time, made 40 units over an hour or so and left. Sensed no heat and no sweat. Only time I felt any 'heat' was when I colored up and I left the table a winner as opposed to a loser; I could sense the floor seemed to not have many winners, and felt a very, very slight irritation in his voice as he told me to have a good day. I don't think most people would have picked up on that vibe but even so, I don't think leaving a winner pegged me as a counter necessarily. Well, I went back today, made sure to try and pick a different shift in case my read was right on that guy being slightly insincere with the "have a good day." Made sure 7 hour time-difference from yesterdays shift; I saw the same floor for a brief moment at 1 point, not in the pit but kinda near it I guess. I was there for no more then 20 minutes, down 5 units at that point.
Then I get the tap from a different floor person -- "this will be your last hand."
Me: "Why's that?"
Floor: "Your play is too good for us."
Me: "Too good? I"m just playing cards."
Floor: *Silence*
At that point, finished the hand, cashed out, and left. I don't understand how I saw the same floor for a brief moment(it wasn't like we made eye-contact, I just barely noticed him); I wasn't even concerned if I did, necessarily, as I was only there the night before and for not more than an hour or so. But I figure it's not a bad habit to practice to play different shifts if you're able, so that's what I did. He was there, and I'm guessing he noticed me and didn't like me winning the day before. That, or the eye in the sky pegged me the night before, I'm not exactly sure. It was only my 2nd time playing there, and I didn't put in more then 2 hours of play. And I don't think it was a matter of them not being able to take a 40 unit loss
They carry purples in the rack and their max would lead me to believe they don't mind taking action(I'm not a black or purple player, just saying the rack was 25k+).
That's basically the gist of it. It kind of bothered me because I didn't even get to spread really today. Got maybe 5 or 6 shuffles in, mostly low negatives through. I even made a few plays that would look like camo possibly - insuring on neutral count, hitting my 12 on a dealer 15 on a count that was like -8(and yes, I would never want to play a count that high but I wong'ed out just before it and didn't see an opportunity to move tables.) I didn't feel my play was overly fishy, so I'm still kind of stuck in my head as to the exact reason behind getting backed off. Not sure if it was floor or eye, or what.
Oh, I just thought of something. Wonder if me not having a player's card was a 'red-flag,' as I know there have been many discussions about this. (I usually get 1, but I genuinely didn't know how often I would play this store and just didn't feel like going through the process.) Kuz when I bought in, it was 'changing xxx, no player's card.' The dealer asked me the night before, and 1 asked me today. I politely declined both times.
My only mental issue is I'm not sure if this place backs off players often, or if my play was just so blatantly obvious, if it was a result of cashing out 40 units, or what.
Hm...
