Am I being SUSPECT? HELP

this Sat Afternoon. i was playing $15 dollars table with my friends. I almost avoid all the Neg Count. so in 4 hours, we stayed in the same table but probabely just played for 1 and half hour. other time��we just back count or save the spot and we take a cigar break or go to bathroom. My bet is from 15 to 100 X 2.

in the last hour, my friend took off. but he told me another talbe's Floor Superviosr looked at me few times already. He called the Pit and the Pit called him back (on phone).

I left some green chips on the talbe, but i stand behind the table, that Floor walked to me,and asked me: ""what are you doing? " I answered:""i want to go to bathroom."" then i did. when i come back, My friend is not on the talbe anymore, he called me and told me the Floor called the pit,etc.

i was so lost! my friend asked me to stay on that table, keep playing the minumn,i stay another half hour after they changed shift. I didnt know the Camera is watching me or not, so i did my bet from 15-25. more tens out, i bet alittle more ( do backward). i even doubledown on 9 against a face card!!!!!

i gave them my player's card today. I didnt know will they put some comment on my card. or are they suspect me now?

Me and my friend gave out 2 funny reasons to instead they suspect our counting. 1 , we doing this for longer time, tried to make more points . Or, 2 today is SAT, the Floor doesnt want to see us OWN the spot but without playing. so he walked to me and asked me What AM I DIONG?

I dont know, i had the worst feeling on the table today( Much worse than lose big money), but i have to keep playing cuz tried to pretend i am just a normal player. And, I dont want them kick me out or suspect me, so it does limit my futrue playing. Becuz its the only Local Casino.

Buddies, anyone can tell me what shall I do now? Or tell me what did they think about us?

1. Leaving the table too often.
2. Standing behind the table and just watching the game too much.
3. Staying away too long especially if other players want your spot.
4. Coming back in only just in time for a new shoe.

I could see doing this if you were just passing through and wouldn't be back for at least six months. They are just not going to tollerate it. It gives them too much reason to watch your betting patterns (spreads). They will bust you very soon even on shoe play.

You are trying to play with too much advantage. You must change your way. Try adopting some kind of ploppy superstitious act and get into table hoping. When the count tanks, simply move to another table. The count at that new table for you starts at zero even if some cards are already gone by. Their question to themselves will be; "What counter would start to play after a half deck had already been delt?". The answer is: The best players in the world will do this now and then. You should also come back sometimes and play the last hand of a tanked shoe. Use the same TC as when you wonged out.

or play in other casino? OMG~~i am totaly lost now!

and keep playing a winning game. Stealth Bomber is not saying to stay out for six months...he is saying that if you want to last in your "home base" casino you have to work on ways to accomplish continuing to avoid negative counts but just not be so obvious looking about it.

You seem to be doing a pretty good job of tieing in leaving the table with some other activity...getting a cigar, cutting a cigar, going to restroom, changing tables, making phone calls, checking on wife/friend, etc. I'd just keep on doing what you're doing but don't just sit out hands too much unless you have some other activity to cover what you're doing.

Eventually, however, unless you're willing to only visit your home casino once every six months (as S.B. says) you're going to wear out your welcome...but that is inevitable when you make the choice to play a winning game.

It seems that you are very much bothered that casino people are treating you as a suspect. You can not play a winning game and expect them to treat you as welcome coustmer at the same time. My suggestion is to take both suggestions above. Stop being so obvious about it and cool it down a little bit. Trying to find a new casino may offer an alternative for the inevitable and help you re adjust.

If you want longevity at this casino, you must not be so obvious with your actions or should I say "inactions". They want players who play. Give them that. They don't want counters or people who hold a spot and keep other players from using it.

I sounds like you are going to have to find a way to stay "in play" more often especially if you are getting watched. Though, do develop an act having within it reasons to wong out and hop to another table. I don't personally like having a lot of chips on the table. It makes it harder to hop to another table. You also do not want to play much on neg counts. The way I see it is; it's better to play not so good pen at 0 or +1TC than to grind with minimum bets at -3 or worse through 4 decks of shoe cards. I would much rather hop to another table at what I would consider a 0 count already in progress than grind allllll-the-waaaaaaaaaaay through 3 - 4 decks of cold cards.

the way ur doing it is way too obvious.
think of wat normal gamblers would do at a blackjack table,
if they r so busy with other things, they would stop playing all together,
if they wanted to gamble, they'd only wait till shuffle time before going to the bathroom or going for cigars.
if they were to leave in the middle of a shoe, they'd be going to another table once they finished watever they needed to do (eg WC. cigars... etc)
if there was an urgent need to go to the bathroom in the middle of the shoe, u can be almost sure that the normal gamblers would run back to the game ASAP.
ur doing the exact opposite of everything that the average gamblers would do, and that's not something u'd do at a home base...
staying at the same table for hours is a sure way of getting urself fried.
afterall u cant have the best of both, if u want longetivity then u have to lose out on a bit of edge. if u want max edge, then dont expect to be welcomed long.
home base play in my opinion should be wonging out at slightly more neg count, and table hopping is a MUST.
to cope with ur mental crisis, then just think of the 0 edge u get if u were 86'd. or think of the travel costs and time costs if u can only play away from home.
