Since, YOU brought up hole carding and flashing dealers, and playing against the same flashing dealers over and over. I have a question for you JBJB.

My experience with HCing is very limited. I did it one summer 2-3 years after I moved to Vegas. Even set my alarm for 3am so I could play one guys 4am-noon shift. Eventually decided I didn't care for that part of it. So anyway, I feel like certain plays are really going to make you stand out.

For example: Dealer is showing a 10, but you know there is a 6 underneath. So you will stand on your bust hand, something that almost no other player, AP, basic strategy player, even most complete ploppys would do. So of course dealer turns over his 6 and busts. After 2 or 3 times of this I feel like it would be very obvious to dealer, pit and surveillance, hell maybe even the cook in the nearby restaurant, what is going on.

Now something like hitting your break hand against the dealer 5 because you know there is a 4 under, that would be less obvious. Players make that kind of wrong play more frequently. But you just rarely see any player, regardless of skill level stand on a 13, 14 vs dealer 10. Doing this AND winning the hand multiple times just seems like a huge attention grabber.
You have to learn to use discretion. Obvious example would be hitting 18 vs 9 up.
