small casinos heat

How to play play small casinos where is almost 1-2 Bj table.
What to do if manager are watching to the table most of the time?
Even basic strategy seems suscpicious(cambler never hit soft 18 against10 or double soft 16 against 4) not talking about 1:10 spread..
some advise?Or i see paranoia?

Some other question.Can casino ban u if u not spreading bets(because basic strategy gives .8% acoording to specific bonus system)?
Any comment?

Casino's in the US may not bar your if their reason is based on religon, race, ethnicity or culture, nor age provided you are not a minor. Other than that, casinos may bar you from any game or the entire facility. So, be a polite guest, one that other casino patrons won't mind being around.

If the pit boss is staring at you, you have three choices:
1. Ignore it
2. Leave
3. Strike up a conversation. Say hello, and talk, like any tourist might do...have a story about visiting, where you are from, what your hobbies are, why you are in town. Gambler's and tourists like to talk about themselves, and people in the hospitality industries learn to indulge that as it is good for their business...indeed some are so good at it that they might convince you they enjoy listening to you...

I'm just learing to count. I use CV and see the advantage a player has prior to hitting/standing on 16 with with a TC of -5, +5. I hit it all the time being a basic strategy player. Consider A,5 v 6...with a TC of +5..half shoe remaining. Today I would double dowm....Is the correct play Hit?

I'm starting to realize there is more to counting than just counting. The ability to make "count plays" would be immediately noticed by a perfect BS player at the table...including the dealer.
Makes sense why you "hit and run." No four hour weekends sessions at the local Indian Casino. Bottom line is you have to have some type of cover for your betting strategy. I can see a green playing $35 during high counts, and reverting back to green remainder of shoe. I don't think this would be much of a problem anywhere. Hitting some 16's and standing of others?...well I think that also would go unnoticed. Spreading 4/1 seems like a stretch playing green without attracting attention.

A-5 vs 6 every time. The bigger the count the better, as you hope the dealer has a 10 down, and draws a 10 to break. A 10 won't bother you at all and lets you get 2x the money on the table...

At way negative counts you might choose to back off of that and just hit it, since the dealer makes more hands at - counts... But I wouldn't stand since a 16 is very weak.

Looking at the EV, doubling has 2x the EV of hitting. For obvious reasons, since this is a +EV hand to start with. Getting to double your bet because you were dealt a +EV hand is a real luxury you don't want to throw away.

They can and do back people of for the most obscure of reasons. That being said if you have found a game that is 0.8% off the top playing only basic startegy, double check to make sure you have got your figures right, and the go play,play,play,play !!

Obviously not maximum bets as you may not have a big enough BR or Tripbankroll. You will know where your comfort level is.

I am in no way asking for the details of your game, so please do not post them ;) But I would be interested to know how long the game with 0.8% off the top stays around.

I had wondered the same thing. In fact, I've never seen a game with that high of a player edge (BJ game). Except maybe for those oddball promo deals where BJ plays 2:1 or 3:1...

I visit these casinos about once a month.
At first i fought to do tiny spread 1-3,but hourly rate isnt good
secondly i fought i dont care .I visit these casinos rarely anyway and i take what i can.

acoording to .8% basic strategy i can say that i have dilemma.
if i would counting my edge would be 2.5%.But main question is my living periods in there

AFAIK, standing or hitting 16 vs 10 based on the count is one of the dead give aways that you are counting. Many pit critters are trained to look for these kinds of clues. Also, spreading 1 to 4 on a shoe game? I would suggest a higher spread.

You really have no decision, if you have found a game with 0.8% off the top you should be playing it. Dont worry about spreads just flat bet it and you should win 0.8% of whatever you can get in play over the long run, of course we all know in the short run anything can happen :)

Obviously it is near inpossible to sit @ a BJ table and not count, so if you do find the count moving into your favour perhaps parlay as a gambler would on your winning hands.

Rememeber there is no real reason to spread as your profit is already built into the game.
