Is this feasible?

#1
6 decks, pen 5/6, das, doa, h17, rsa, min. bet $10. I play $10 on the flow until i wong out, 2-3 hands into the shoe if the count goes south and wait until it goes up enough to merit a $20-80 bet spread.

I have a $6K bankroll. Is this reasonable or am I a nitwit?

Sounds reasonable to me. The only thing I would suggest is that if you are going to bail out that quickly, why not just back count off the top and save those minimum bets?

It looks like a reasonable game and your wonging strategy is almost as effective as back counting. Blackjack Attack 2005 edition chapter 13. Read it and you may find you can improve this with very minor tweaking.

Although it's not the best, it's the only casino in my area with a game somewhat worth playing and i'm there 4-5 times/week. I don't want to blatantly antagonise everyone and risk heat. In a way, the privilege of playing outweighs the losses from sticking in for the first couple of hands. Dealers already make a point of announcing my moves out loud "HAND IN" - "HAND OUT" hoping that pressure from other players will keep me in the game all the time.

Cheers tthree. I wil definitely get it. So far I've only gone by Wong's and only yesterday I ordered Blackbelt in Blackjack. I'm trying to improve my spreads/betting strategy. I currently play $20 on +.5% advantage (true count 2) to $80 or (2x$60) on +2% (tc 5). I'm obviously getting big ups/downs (for my BR anyway). But it eventually settles on an upward trend.
