Perhaps do a side count where you cut your work load with tallies. I.E keep a count on a hand or something every time you see 4 aces or 5s(left and right respectively) so you know one finger = 4 count of either Ace or 5. Ace or 5 count would always be a positive count. I.E just knowing how many...

So just going over the numbers it seems it would be beneficial to keep a side count of As and 5's. Is there a count that currently does this?

these are really good tips. I had a bad habit of looking at other players hit cards as I was checking my phone or something lol. Like magnet head to drawn cards. I need to stop that ASAP.

It's called cover. The cost of one hand is better than getting heat imo... Why the toxicity lmao?

In the 9th inning of a 10 hour Sunday evening session (5pm - 3am), I hit a hard 17 against a 10 with a TC -3 and got a perfect 21, beating the dealer. I had also been using alcohol as cover (3 beers over 10 hours) - and find talking, "making a scene" on big hands comes natural to me, But I'm...
