shoe reset weird

so i’m playing at one of my usual crypto casinos, live dealer blackjack. it’s been going smooth, but tonight after a couple shoes, i notice the dealer does a full reshuffle even though the cut card just came out maybe ten hands in? usually you get most of the shoe, sometimes a bit less, but this felt way off - like a quarter in and boom, reset. i know casino can do what they want, but this killed any attempt at counting or reading play. noticed chat started lighting up too, with others saying the same.

is this just them tightening up on counters or maybe some new automated rule because of too many people winning? i’m used to brick and mortar spots pulling tricks, but live crypto tables have always felt a bit more hands-off till now. anybody else run into weird resets or inconsistent shoe lengths lately? trying to figure out if this is just a bad night or if i should rework my strategy for these tables.

That doesn’t scream “they’re scared of counters” to me, it screams janky live crypto casino plumbing. I’ve had a table do a weird bet re-open twice, dealer gets that dead-eyed pause, then suddenly fresh shoe like nothing happened. Same canned support answer after. If a normal room pulled that, fine, house call. When crypto tables do it, I assume clunky backend first, not some grand anti-winning master plan.
