The Borgata will take Counter Measures against you upon your return if they have your payer's card.

as one who plays 3 days a week at borgata, I recommend keeping your sessions short. If you are not wonging out, or are wonging out, but the opportunity hasn't accured, I would end my session after an hour, even if you only move to a different pit. (the Borgata is big enough to play several sessions in a row at different pits)

People tend to forget that just because AC can't barr players, they can still take counter measures such as early shuffles and bet restritions that can render your game useless. Its rare that this happens. Usually people who push the envelope toooo much. But with such a limited number of decent games in AC, be cautious and keep your sessions short.

A shift manager friend of mine, who was ruthless on counters, told me you can get away with a lot more if the dealers like you. Don't overdo it, tip the least you can and subtly defend them from player abuse. If you get smoked shrug it off and never blame the dealer. Try to act cheerful no matter what happens. And don't overdo it.

Casinos are not run by dealers. It would be nice if they were. Whether your sessions are long or short makes no difference. The management takes a dim view of winning players. Buy in for a G, double up and walk. Keep doing it, over and over again. They'll let you. Sure they will. But play poker on line and double up. Then leave. Does anyone give a damned? Nope. They don't know you from Jake and they wouldn't care anyway. Brick and mortar casinos just love people who think they can beat them.

Every place is different and within a place each shift can be different and within a shift each pit can be different.
Mainly, I agree that an occassional tip and being liked by the dealers and pit can gain you some time often when playing red or light green, but more often gains you nothing or at best very little when you play at higher levels. Then even for the lower limit player, one change in personel can mean the end of a long relationship, so just enjoy what you have for the time being.

Learn what dealers can and cannot do for a counter.

to a max of 2 x 350 every other week for 12 years. Mostly to 2 x 250. I don't agree with you.

The first thing I stated was that every casino is different. So you are saying what you do in one casino you can do in every casino or you are partially agreeing with me.

Also, your 2X250 or 2X350 means absolutely nothing if you do not state what your minimum bets are. I have gotten away at one casino for over a year a spread of $10 to 2X300, then got run off after a management change.

There is one casino in Vegas where for more than a decade I have spread big and not been run but if it comes I will not be surprised.
Your casino may never run you but do not be shocked if someday they do.

Nothing any other traveling player hasn't done. I've gone 25 to 2 x 300 heads up on a 2 deck game (Golden Nugget) where both the dealer and the relief said "Just tell me when you want me to shuffle." I did. I've been told that in Vegas, Mississippi and New York as well. I merely point out one facet of card counting. I've gotten one deck cuts or better at will in 2 deck cut house games that were otherwise unplayable to me. I've also stood nearby when the floor asked the dealer after I left if I was counting and she said "No." Many times. I played professionally for 12 years and did very well. That came from going where the good games were for 5 nights/6 days at a clip and eating an 800-900 nut before I played the first hand. I've had some experience on what I say.

My point is that at any time it can change in any individual casino.

just don't let that excitement turn into impatience.
