If you spread 25- 400 you are not going to play many 6 deckers in AC. Most 6 deck games are in the bacc pits and usually have 50 mins at least. The AC cuts typically suck nd the rules are not great (S17/DAS but no LS). Heat can be high on non-weekends; on weekends you can last abit longer; while they cant bar you they can limit top bet, restrict u to one hand play etc. Also all 6 deckers are no mid shoe which means that wonging out is a must.
That being said there maybe a few games u can get into. The showboat has a 6 decker and last time i was there it had a 25 min. If you have to travel go to vegas there are mnay playable games for your spread and top bet.

CCs in AC get the same bad rude service every one else gets, they don't discriminate.
$25 to $400 spread in 6 deck sounds good, how is your act?
Yes, you can play two spots.
Why are the games in Vegas unplayable?
Casinos outside Vegas aren't as crowded as the ones in Vegas.

Re: , Atlantic City - Just got back
I posted this over at CCC cafe, but here's what I'll tell you.
If you are playing quarters, the Borgota is the place to do it. All six deck games (no eights) and you will be a small player at $25. (There was one $15 table, the rest were $25 and $50).
You will definitely get a checks play call if you make this spread though. You are going to have to keep your spread at 1:8 if you want to last. Should be no problem switching to two spots as far as the rules. But good luck trying it! You're lucky to find one free spot on a table. Comps are good, though. Don't expect a waitress to come around, though. I didn't see one all morning!
The Hylton is also very good. Eight deckers, though, except in the high-roller area where they are six. You could probably get $25 minimum by request. There you will have plenty of spots to play (its often empty), but expect lots of attention. Comps are also good and waitress service is better.
The showboat is nice and if you like to collect Harrah's rewards you can play. Splitting is limited to three hands (instead of four at most other places).
If you consider comps part of your EV, skip the Taj (you get zero for table games!).
Any new counters, however, should flock to the Taj (in spite of the lack of comps) and find the great Asian dealer (there are a few, you have to find her) who hands out each and every card deliberately and doesn't speed up as the shoe progresses! You couldn't lose the count if you tried. Your hourly winnings will be low but you'll feel good that you played correctly and didn't lose any counts!

For me, Vegas is unplayable. To much heat. Always dealers are shouting "checkplay". And I read many stories about barrings for spreading from 25 to two spots of 150 for example at Ceasars, Mandalay Bay, MGM etc. This is not a good place to play in a relaxed atmosphere. For players spreading red($5-$95!) might be ok, but you won't make the money.
Since they can`t bar you in AC(can`t they really?) I would like to know, what they do with somebody constantly spreading wide(black)? Do they also tell you, that only you are limited to a certain top bet? I need some detailed comments, how they treat the black chip player of our community, who is know as a CC.
Thanks so much, ,Jim

I don't agree there are some very tasty places to play in Vegas both single deck and six deck with a number of two deckers. There are games for the red green and black chippers. I just got back. I am a green chipper and I had a blast. The other place for great BJ is the Reno area. If you are looking for other great places try Biloxi and Tunica. They treat black chippers like kings. I do agree they will watch you. This is where a good act or play strategy comes in. The game has tightened up and its tougher. You have to play shorter big bet rounds and or wong the big shoes. Even so the game is out there. How long the game will last well time will tell. Rememeber to spread the word too 6/5, SF21, are sh!t. LTC
