I usually play 6 deck shoes at $5 min bet tables. I've spread up to $75 with no heat ($5 @ tc < 0, $10 @tc < 2 $25 @ tc =2 $50 @ tc= 3 or 4 (sometimes), $75 when tc = 4(sometimes) or 5+.
I'm making money (I keep a nice spreadsheet logging a bunch of info).
I play a long time at tables (sometimes as long as 8-10 hours).
I don't play all the modified bs moves, but mostly just the changes for insurance, what to do w/ 15 and 16, and some of the changes that occur when the tc reaches +1. Most of my $$ comes from my spread.
According to my spreadsheet, my edge is about 0.7%.
Although I fall within the sterotype counter profile, I'm friendly and have the ability to seem dumb enough (or so my girlfriend says).
I'd like to start betting more (my bankroll allows that), but I suspect that the reason I'm not getting heat (hell, I'm getting comped like crazy) is that my bet size is small (and I rathole quite well).
What are some of the things I can do to move up to higher bet levels without getting much heat?
Thanks
