So, I was at the Cal Neva a couple weeks ago, playing single deck with Reno rules (No DAS, hit S17, Double on 10,11 only) About a .40 disadvantage off the top...
Anyways, it couldn't have been anymore obvious that I was a counter (nor was I particularly trying to hide that fact) I refused to play at a table with anymore than 1 other person, I used a 1-5 spread, and even took back my 'big' bet when the dealer shuffled (unaware that they would do so)
This made for a very enjoyable experience. I had a lot of fun with the dealers, (toking them 50 cent pieces every so often) and this often seemed to encourage them to work 'with me' by giving deeper penetration than usual. Before it was all said and done, I made myself a nice $350 in 2 days of moderate playing (higher than I 'should' have made, but still)
Anywhoo, I have never drawn ANY heat from casinos thus far. I can only assume that this is because I look very young. (I am 21 and could easily pass for 17, haha) That, or I play rather small 'stakes', though, I thought for sure that a spread higher than 1 to 3 in Reno would draw attention. *shrug*
Anytime that the pit boss does start paying attention to my game, I usually can't help but ask how they'd play my hand (I love doing this with 16 vs. 10) They usually tell me to stay and don't give me a second look :laugh:
