back betting question

My roomate plays perfect basic, and I count hi-low. Since you can't wong in at foxwoods (crowding), would it be a good strategy for me to back count and bet behind him only when the count is +2 or more.
I only bring $100 bankroll per trip. I am still in college, and don't have the time or bankroll, and I am not confident enough in my skills yet to play seriously, but I figure I should give myself my best chance. Would my EV be greater back betting, not using the I18? would it generate heat? or should I just play and exit wong?

note: I plan to seriously at some point, and I dont want to draw attention to myself over a few dollars.

with $100 bankroll per trip, if you only play + counts, say with a max bet of $10 (spreading $5-$10), you have an EV of about .50 cents per hour, with a risk of losing your entire $100 of about 20% per trip (based on your $100 bankroll).

Better strategy -- get a part time job that pays $7 per hour and put the money directly into your bankroll. When you get a decent bankroll, play for real (max bet at least $50). In the mean time, work hard, get good grades, and buy some sim software so you can play at home.
