After 6 Months Of Practice...I Failed In The Real World.

If you never even play a hand, they'll just think you're a weird child molestor type. Which will only put you in the bottom 40% of the casino populace.
If you finally jump in during a positive count (as long as your bet isn't huge for the joint) then they'll just think you finally got up your nerve.

Sorry guys, I guess this one got lost in the shuffle--so can I trouble you all once more and re-ask these questions from my earlier post please?
I'm guessing there's really no need to stay with one-hour sessions right now (while I'm practicing on Red with either a flat bet or tiny spread)? This is on a 6D game with S17, DS, RSA, and 75% pen...ultimately, I'd like to employ a 1:12 spread.
Therefore, these questions have arisen:
1. Should I just flat bet till I feel I'm 100% ready in a year or so--or should I use some tiny spread like 1:3 (2u = halfway, 3u = max bets for a little bit more realistic feel to the game...once I've proven I can actually keep the count or a full shoe of course)?
2. What's the max number of hours I can push these "training playing sessions" to without wearing out my welcome if flat betting?
3. Same question but on using the tiny spread of say 1:3?
Thank you so much!

Neither. Practice for free (home, software, backcounting) until you can keep it straight, then go for it with a full spread. Appropriate for your particular bankroll, of course.
If flat betting, the casino will let you play until you pass out. And longer.
Probably just as long. Especially if it's small stakes. It's still a money winner for the casino, so they would only ask you to stop if they were exceptionally paranoid, or you just became annoying.

This isn't quite true. On a long (BS) session, drinking JD a way too long, the waitress (probably trying to do me a favour) started bringing me JD & Water. I corrected her; did walk away with yellow+blacks with only a $100 by-in. (The only time I've gone away from flat-betting BS is when I've been sober... for example, the last time I was in LV, my last bet before the plane was the amount I was up for the trip (only $100 - what the hell, I had never bet that much, and it was "casino money")
Try playing the Pussycat Dolls pit at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas to help with casino distractions. The women dance around poles in the middle of the pit. At night , folks are lined up three deep to watch. The place is loud and very distracting. Pussycat Dolls are also dealing to add to the madness. The six deck rules(.94, h17,d 10, $15 min.) are poor to pay for the overhead. The experience for the diversions of casino play, priceless.
