Re: detailed answer
Al has this covered pretty good. The floor has a responsibility to do what is in teh casino's best interest. He rightly points out that what the floor would do at 1 pm is a lot different than what the floor would do at 1 am. The floor has to be able to make judgements about if his new game will go and if the old game will continue to go. Places that say thay have to have 6 to start a new game have instituted a rule rather than allowing the floor to use judgment. This is generally a sign that the poker management doesn't really understand these issues so in hiring a floor staff they have no way to make a determination if a potential hire understands these issues (some of the poker management I have seen recently might not even know that a good floorman can tell if a game will go or not go).
As far as the original poster bringing a deck of cards to the table you just made the floor's life difficult (the phone will be ringing wanting to know what is going on etc). As a winning player you have the same customers as the casino and a lot of your interest are in the same place (you both want more games etc). It is a really bad idea to aggrevate them. If you were to ever produce a deck again in this casino you should expect to not return.
