Nobody will give you a second thought just for winning 200 dollars. That is basically nothing to the casinos so you shouldn't get any attention for winning such a small amount.
Sooo, at what point DO casinos take notice?

I can't answer that question, but if you're playing low stakes the casinos don't pay that much attention to you. Of course it depends on the casino, so it's different in all cases. But I dont think any casinos would get worried about someone winning a couple hundred dollars.

No I havn't. I was just assuming that MOST casinos dont worry about a couple hundred dollar win. But what do I know, I'm just a newbie! :D

The casino I got backed off I over played the place. The place was empty I was playing heads up most of the time. During the time period just about everyone was playing only 3-5$ so having my max bet at 35$ stuck out. I won more money at other casinos and never had a problem.

Actually, this place isn't nearly as bad as it used to be. Maybe getting rid of those filthy brown $25 chips cleared out their brains. I've coloed up for $300-$400 on several occasions and they still love me there. I've cashied in for $500+ and they don't seem too worried. They still keep a close eye on their players, but you just need to show them what they want to see.

The worst heat I ever got was at the Klondike. Thank goodness they're gone now!

In late June,I was playing El Cortez,late night,the SD game,1-1 with the dealer.betting 5-15,trying to count.
This fat drunken guy sits down and is betting two hands,$10 each and playing royal match for a few red chips.He's hitting the RM on a steady basis,but losing most hands.
After a new shuffle,7 or 8 of the first 9 are all small.I up my bet next round and win. Guy says loudly-let me know when you are betting big,you always seem to win your big bets.Asian pit-lady shut the table after next round.I won a total of $40something bucks.
I moved to the only open game,a DD,and she comes over and tells me I can only flat-bet.It made my day.

I gets easier

That first backoff coming as a shock is not unusual at all. As Zengrifter said, you can go back under another name or no name after a few months but you also have learned something about this casino. Plenty of places will not bother a counter with a max bet of $35. They are smart, they know he can not hurt their bottom line and they know the possible cost of a scene (the lady who left). This casino (if there is no more to your story) is following every cent and probably has a pit that camps out when a bad player gets lucky and his chips pile up. A little checking in the areas where you play will give you a good idea of which casinos a player like yourself could play with no worry, or let you know where you must hit and run.

I tend to play at casinos you need to hit and run. They are the ones with the best games usually. My BR is still small, so I need to find every extra adv.
