You are not ready for that yet IMO.
You still haven't figure out how to use TC,and u are going?  Casinos love your business.
P.D.

I pray for the day i get taken to a back room and they beat me. That is the biggest +EV move for a counter! They wont take you out back its very illegal. But if you feel like you should run like hell i do not discourage it. I think the pit and dealers would laugh so hard they would want you to come back forever. Either that or they will tackle you to the ground assuming you did something illegal.
Anyway I do not think its a good idea for you to go. You dont know enough about counting at all. Study for a month at least and then go at it. Its still not really enough time but you can get your feet wet.

Can you count a deck down 100% right in less than 30 seconds?
Can you do it with the TV blaring Boobies in your face?
Can you do it with Boobies, and loud music playing?
Can you do it with Boobies, music and your wife telling you off for looking at the Boobies?
If you have answered yes to all the above are you truly ready...

Rounder, if casinos make you that nervous, maybe you shouldn't go to them. Ever.
Barring that, since you don't sound ready, my only advice if you DO go would be to not place a bet. At all. Just observe tables and focus on seperate practices. Basic strategy, dealer procedures, backcounting, etc.

well it has been about a month since i started and i can easily get a deck dealt and counted in under 30 second's accurate with tv and girlfriend and kid screaming. also in pair's and just started doing it in set's of 3,i dont really know if that will help i just wanted to try it out and i was just making sure about the tc thing,the only thing i havnt done is counting the deck's left BUT it's going to be a 2 deck game so i really dont think ill have to much trouble with it.
since we all like making money you all should bet on if i will gain or lose money.lol. i'll let you know what happen's in probly under 2 week's

Regardless of the skills you do or don't have, it sounds like your attitude is all wrong.
Many 'victims' are attacked because they expect to be attacked and they act like a victim/prey.
It's the same principle here.
Instead, you need to be able to look and act like a ploppy.
Just some dumb tourist out to lose money and have a good time.
