for me it just came with practice. i have to verbally (mentally) say the rc in my mind as i'm counting. but you just get better and more used to it as you practice. then when you start applying it in the casino and think you are doing it correct it becomes just something that you find you are able to do like after successfully riding a bike for the first time. or as others have said it's kind of like touch typing or reading. you get to where you can do it with out worrying about it much.vonQuux said:
you could use the thumb also 1 2 4 8 16 for one hand you get the numbers 1-31 from the combinations, i read this in a old post for keeping track of aces. So for this you have to learn a whole new "counting" method which it probably makes sence just to do it in your head.BJinNJ said:but I've not been in a casino in 20 yrs., so I'm not sure it'll work.
The four fingers on each hand can represent hexadecimal numbers.
I'll use rings to keep the RC on my fingers using the hex system.
I doubt the casino/pcs will catch on.
The only problem is counts in excess of +/- 16, but there are ways
to accommodate this too.
I know, I know... what a geek!

I used to position my thumb in each knuckle of a finger and then on the tip getting 4 out of each finger for side-counting aces. Never thought of a hex system but why not. Guess you could rotate your feet 4 different ways when it's flat, toe-up, heel-up. But using it for a RC, as fast as that happens, would be difficult for me anyway. Maybe use it for locking in RC at the end of a round so you could always go back to that.la_dee_daa said:
