The advantage play will cost them, but the "good" business it brings in more than compensates for it. And what if, in addition to that policy, 86ing advantage players makes it even more profitable? How do you know that's not true? They might not have been surprised.

But I'm wondering, for the sake of the big players, what should they do? Should they refrain from playing something that looks "too good"? Or stand back while someone else tests the water first?
>I don't know what you mean by doing anything for the sake of the big
players, but waiting to see how they treat other players sounds
reasonable. Of course, I've known people who refuse to play at a place
at which they might get 86ed, which trades in a possibility of getting
86ed and gets a sure thing of, in effect, 86ing themselves. It's not
that traumatic. The days that "Casino" depicts are long gone.
