Ja! That's 135 kilometers from me, so not too far.

I've been there a handful of times.

I don t get it.why would this happen?

pretty much what @Shonuffbrad said.

I mean, it's not mandatory, i could have easily told the woman the F off, but it's proper etiquette.

Card counting seems more or less pointless because casinos have gotten really good at detecting them, under 30 mins in most places. Even if you play your cards close to your chest and never reveal your ID unless lawfully required (casinos will constantly try to bully you into revealing it when not necessary), eventually they'll get your name, your face (via cameras) and they'll put you in a system that automatically detects you via facial recognition when you come in. Many casinos have informal networks where they share information about card counters with one another. So when you get backed off one casino, you're also getting de facto backed off all the other casinos that company owns, but also other casinos owned by other companies that you've never been in that are part of an information sharing network. You can make money for a few months as an unknown player, but very quickly you'll "burn out" all the places you can go until you can no longer play (with non-fixed bids) anywhere. That's a lot of effort put into learning this skillset, only to no longer be able to use anywhere only a few months later. Months assuming you drive through the entire US systematically entering every casino. If you stick to your local area, you'll be burned everywhere within hours or days.

yea, the last time I played, I was doing pretty well. (not large stakes). the Pit Boss asked for my ID to get "my credentials" so I could be "eligible for their reward program."

keep it mind, they didn't ask anyone else at the table for their ID.

I understand.

As for myself, I quite enjoy casinos, however, I treat them like any other potential vice, and that's with infrequency.

sound approach and policy. I don't delude myself into thinking I can retire and just play black jack to supplement my income

Counting is easy and doable with a couple decks. But with most casinos now running at least 6 you’re fucked. Just doesn’t work in practice with a ton of decks.
