Counters,Basic Straegists, & Ploppies

[rogue1]

I've got a question. In your opinion what percentage of all players are counters,basic strategists, or ploppies?

It really feels like about 1% of people I've encountered at the blackjack tables play observably perfect BS. May be as high as 4%, but I doubt it.

And I think I've encountered maybe 7 counters over the last 18 months. Not seven percent, seven.

There are very few perfect basic strategists who aren't also counters. And almost all of them are comp hustlers.

Rhino-
I think your numbers are pretty accurate.

I forgot to mention that 6 of the 7 counters that I've stumbled were at one local casino. Kind of ridiculous.

And they were all at the same table and from M.I.T.

And I think I know what casino that is. It's one of the places that lots of us have played in, or will.

But it seems I meet more counters in one day in Las Vegas than in one year in Connecticut.

i've probably run into over a dozen counters and it was all at the same casino and thats only in a one year period (its a big casino). But almost all of them were bad counters because when the running count would go up to 6 after the first hand of a six deck shoe, they would start throwing out max bets haha. Needless to say they werent very successful

100% If you asking who are the minority in the AP realm, 1%
