30 Seconds?
Ive been learning this art for a little while now Ive got BS down pat, and I can count a deck down 15-20 seconds with no errors consistently. But when I go to a casino there is a lot more going on then running cards through your hands. I remember only being able to count a deck in 25-30 seconds and if I would have tried to play in a casino then I would have had a nervous breakdown. My opinion is that you should keep practicing counting down not just 1 but 2, 4, and 6 decks at a time. Dont quit just because someone says 30 seconds is good enough. Everything you learn keep practicing, even when you are good enough to do everything in a casino smoothly, keep practicing at home. It will never hurt you to get faster at anything as long as you are accurate. The faster you are the more time you can concentrate on playing with cover.
