Playing anon. in high limit rooms

[ArcticInferno]

Arctic, You made some good points. I wish that I could play unrated in HL room. I don't know if I am totally agree with your game plan, although I found you are brave. I am a part timer with a bankroll similar to yours. You made me think if I should change my game.

One additional problem playing purple will be CTRs. Not only at the cage but also at the table when you buy in. Fake ID is an idea but risky. You will be noticed once they find the ss# does not match. At that point, they may not know your true identity but they should have your picture on file. With this level of action, eyes including those upstairs will be all over you. I believe you are playing a strong game. Since it is part time, may be you could find a balance between longevity and the max win per hour or per year.

Cashing out $10k and above takes some cloak & dagger routine.
You don’t buy in more than $2k at a time. Also, you should have some chips in
your pocket before you enter the casino.
I would *never* give out my SSN to the casino. LOL! Oh my God! LOL!
You make me laugh,...
Here’s a little trick. Let’s say that you have $15k of Taj Mahal chips on you as you
walk into the casino. Cash out $3k before you begin playing. Play with $12k.
You may win or you may lose. If you win a little, then cash out $2k or $3k before
you head to the next casino. You never cash out *all* of the chips. You cash out
only a little at a time before you hop to the next casino. I have cash box filled
with color coded containers with chips from many, many different casinos.
Unlike a career gambler, it’s only a game to me. I’m playing cloak & dagger, 007,
hunter vs hunted, etc.

You guys want to have some fun?
Make up your own custom counting system.
Yes, you can create your own clever system and give it a wacky name.
First, get CVData.
Quickly skim through Theory of Blackjack by Peter Griffin and pay particular
attention to “effect of removal”.
Give custom tag values to each card. Obviously 5 & Ace get the highest
attention. 8 is zero. 7 & 9 get less weight, etc.
Do you want level 2 or level 3? Multi-parameter is unnecessary. The power
of multi-parameter system comes from the fact that they’re multi-level, and
the extra work of keeping a side count is for naught. Simulations prove that.
CVData let’s you calculate the betting correlation. CVData will also
generates the indices.
Finally, run some simulations. That’s it! Your very own personal custom
counting system.
After a successful run on the casino floors, you will come to appreciate all
the systems created by others in the past.
Most of all, you’ll appreciate Stand Wong’s statement that any system that
compares highs to lows will work. The boundary is set only by your own
motivation, determination, and of course your imagination.

how about incorporating side-count and indices?

Cvdata obv accounts for creating custom counts, but what about incorporating couple of side-counts and getting new indices? Does cvdata support it? I couldn't find a way to do that?

Nice Positive Variance ArticInferno

Comps are just another greed/camo consideration. One can make more with comps but is it worth the exposure of your name? and a record of your play? It's probably not worth it if you alter your play and give up $25 in ev for a $10 comp.

good cards

Now, even as a part-time "recreational" player, I no longer use a players card. Eventually, casinos have to figure your play if you use a card, so I figure, "Why make it easy for them?" Plus, I don't want to begin getting backed off at my favorite spots. If I can't keep them from IDing me as a counter, that's my bad.:whip: And if I do get IDed, I will make every attempt to hit that casino:flame: again somehow.:eyepatch:
