betting big chips

[Deathclutch]

Although I've never played them, I hear good things about these games.
Evidently, competition there is intense and many casinos eat the state manated antes for some players.

I was at one the other day. At this particular one, if you signed up for a players club card they waived the ante. Overall the games were very poor though.

Deathclutch which casino was this? What makes the games poor?

On the topic of checks play: Sometimes it helps to have a stupid grin on your face while the dealer calls "checks play," like you're amazed to have so much money in front of you and you're high on the excitement of betting "big" money. Maybe give the boss a thumbs-up if they look over to you. A wink, too.

One thing I love to do is when I make a table max bet, If I win and the pit boss is next to me (watching me) I will make a fist and be like "pound it" and we bop fists, and I talk about how awesome it feels to bet that much and about how its scary and fun.

Also before I make a max bet sometimes I ask the dealer, "should I go for it"? if I just lost a bet that was half of the max the hand before

All the shoe games other than a high limit game were all 8 decks (I don't know the exact rules, I didn't even play one), and the DD games were H17, D8-11 and it's quite possible they were giving less than 50% penetration. Throw on a .50 cent ante if you don't have a players card and that must be a horrible game for the average person to play. This particular casino is in the very northeast corner in Oklahoma, called Downstream.

Oh ok, I havent run into a game like that here, most are 6 deck and they stay on S17 DAS.

Black Action

If I walk into my local casino, throw down $2,000 cash and proceed to flat bet $100 chips, will this bring me any more pit attention than my usual red or green action with little spread?

Yes, but the good kind of attention. :laugh:

Not only what DB said (especially because of the flat betting because that's a negative EV), but a 20 unit buy-in is just right and should never bring any heat.
