Just got back from today's trip to the casino (not LV) and see the many responses.
General conditions of my play:
Anon just about everywhere.
Played mostly shoes (10-12:1), some DD at both Station and MGM (6:1), green to black.
Never play a DD game more than 30 min, unless the count went nowhere and I never raised by bet more than 2U. Sometimes shorter.
Never play a shoe game more than an hour, shorter if more than one shoe ends with a big bet.
No, I'm not moving my lips. I can carry on a conversation and count at the same time, as well as backcount 2 adjacent tables while faking a phone call
I am of the attitude that I don't care if there is a back-off every now and then, as I'm only returning to the same place/shift once every 4 months or so. Out of sight, out of mind. I keep good records, so know where not to go at what time.
