I'm kinda new to counting. two days ago was playing at a table and the TC went from +3 up to around +7 late in the shoe. I had been betting $10 and gradually went to 60 then 90, 120, 200 (table max). essentially the count kept rising and I kept losing so I kept pushing my bets. in between all this nonsense the dealer starts calling the table Max bets out and a floor walks over and camps throughout the rest of the shoe. I end up losing $1100 but after the shoe gets done the floor takes both of the six deck shoes off the table and puts them in a box and walks off with them. it was late and I didn't appreciate the attention so I took off. also this is at my local casino and even though I'm just kinda doing this for some extra potential bucks and challenge I would prefer not to get backed off.

what's the deal with them pulling the cards off like this? I know my betting was at the very least suspect, but are they going back through and checking the count/looking for marks by pulling cards? is this just a normal deal?
I've never seen it done. should I just not mess around with blackjack there for a while?

Nah. They were closing the table most likely. They aren't going to riffle through the cards to find the TC, that's what surveillance is for.

$200 table max they prob can't afford surveilance.

Or they looked for marks on the cards.
