I'll be staying at a particular Hotel/Casino this weekend. I will have the family with me, so I surely don't want to be kicked out for counting. Am I better off not playing there at all? Or should I limit my sessions to an hour a day? What do you do when in this situation? Thanks!

Unless you are spreading like a California forestfire I think you will be fine. Watch for any heat and limit your play time to short sessions. Normally they will give you signs of a back off or tell you not to play BJ, especially if the missus is losing it on slots as fast as you can make it with blackjack. ;> Much depends on which casino you will be staying at. E-mail the Mayor with this critical info and he will give you a run down of the heat situation at that casino.

Don't email if you are playing less than a $25min, and IF you intend to receive some comps just limit your play at your host resort to 1hr per shift daily. zg

Thanks for the replies

Yes, I'm still a red chipper, so I guess I shouldn't sweat it too much. I've been getting away with a 1 to 5 spread at a few different places I play (single and double deck). Should I stick with that or should I test the waters with a 1 to 6 spread?

1-6

If they don't checks-play you at 5-25, they probably won't at 5-30, so go for it. Plus, you can put a red chip on top of a green one so your bet might not catch the pit critter's attention as often as just a green one, although that's usually just wishful thinking.

1:5 1:6 in Red

Give it a try, I doubt the $5 difference will make them sweat. Enjoy yourself while you are still playing at that level. It will make for some great memories later on. ;>

Re: 1-6

Thanks Theef!

I'm actually spreading 10 to 50 right now and I always feel like I stick out like a sore thumb when I go from 10 straight to 50 on the next hand. I'll try using green like you said.

just call out red action and bet all red chips

Whenever I'm playing at a low stakes table and they call out green action for a one green chip bet I put all my green in my pocket and then bet only in red, and if I bet more than 2 red i call out "red action". Putting some red on top of the green usually works out. When you bet table minimum you can use five white ones and call out "white action". I like to fool around like this to lighten things up.

Have Fun!!
