You seem to think that pit and or dealers "recognizing" you, equates to counter-measures. THAT has NOT been my experience. My experience is you have to do something to cause them a headache or problem for them to cause you a problem. One such thing would be a win of 5, 6, 8 grand. Short sessions and mid-level stakes of a max bet of $400 or so makes such a win less likely and less frequent which translates to less problems. Instead you will have more smaller wins divided over more days and places. Of course you will still register some wins that draw attention, like a shoe that is just remarkably good, winning many of your big bets. (Don't you just hate when that happens....lol). But the point is there are things a player can do to minimize these situations that draw attention and cause problems.

I have never said, some pit and dealers don't recognize me. I have conversations with some that are running conversations, like about sports. One pit guy actually welcomed me back on the first day I played after my last heart surgery. This means he not only knew me as the guy from Philly that talked eagles with him at times, but read the forums and knew exactly who I was. And the most problems I ever had with him were a couple polite backoffs where he said "I think that is enough for today".

I am not saying every pit person is like that, but they all aren't out to create problems where there is none either. Sometimes I feel like you almost have to rock the boat to have a problem.
