Doofus
"I gamble one weekend a month, if that. The last thing I want to do in such a situation is stand around waiting, waiting, waiting. And then have some ploppy land in and start soaking up cards on that favorable shoe I just identified.
I'd rather keep track and ramp up bets if appropriate, or leave it gets bad."
Since I'm also a recreational blackjack player and now play locally, wonging- in is not an option as a regular method of play. I wong-out after two decks (6/8 deck game) if I have a true count of -2, or go the bathroom. Normally I'll back count a full table where I have a friend I have met at casino that will place a bet for me if situation is positive. He does not know what I'm doing because he is not aware that I count. The only thing he knows about me is that I'm a friendly guy who have played together and I love the action.
