Rookie Tips/Info for Foxwoods/MS

[bjcc]

I am just starting off playing blackjack, and have never actually played at a casino yet, although have been to them several times. I am practicing basic strategy and have been card counting for about three months now, I can go through a deck in somewhere around 20 seconds and was thinking of getting some actual play in at either Foxwoods, or Mohegan Sun. I am under 21 but have gotten into the gambling floor before with no hassle, (might even consider investing in a Fake I.D) and was wondering which one is better to play at, I was thinking Mohegan Sun since the security is super horrible and I get in with no problem. Do they allow mid shoe entry there? Also are there $5 tables as my bankroll is still low, and how much initial money would I have to bring with me minimum to be able to play and make money? I know the penetration is horrible but Mohegan seems to be my best bet right now at least with no fake ID.
Thanks in advance for all your help!!

I cannot recommend playing at either venue if you are under age. In NY, the gambling age is 18. If Turning Stone is an option, you can go there, though the games are very poor.

Don't waste your time at either.

Focus on doing something more productive with your time (i.e. career), and build your bankroll before you attempt any AP at these places (or anywhere else).

If your BR is only supporting a $5 unit you'd make more money at 7-11 anyway.

Once you have a good career and a healthy bankroll, then consider playing. Practice with software in the meantime if you want.

Then bugger off until you are 21. Card counting is barely worth it for those who can enter a casino legally, it is not even close to worth it for you.

Turning stone isn't really an option, like 5 hours away so Foxwoods or MS are the only things available to me, I know I should wait but I got in at MS with no problem, I was even behind the BJ table ready to play, right now it isn't enitirley about money making to me as much as having fun, i Know $5 is a low bet but I can spare $300 for some fun, and with a fake id the risk is minimal, would it be worth it to go just for the fun of it, and with those guidelines which one is better? To get some real counting action and more imporantly have some fun. Do either have mid shoe entry so I can enter after establishing a good count? Is this too suspicious, and just a side question, do MS or foxwoods or all casinos offer free drinks+cigars with gambling?

All casinos offer free drinks, most dont offer free cigars unless you are placing large bets. I dont recommend drinking while playing. Also the risk of using a fake ID to drink and gamble is high, you can get in alot of trouble.
