S17 game, forgot to mention , 2 people in group (me and my friend GBP, who doesn't want any money, but I Will pay him if 100+ hours make a good result).
He plays only TC from +2 above.

I don't see the advantage to having a gorilla big player. I guess if you had more than one you could rotate them through if they got banned, but I don't think it's worth it for such a marginal play.

But I am scared my bet spread would be too big, from 2 x 2 $ to 2 x 40$ ...
This Casino has excellent conditions and I want to increase longevity there so I thought Gorilla Big Player can help in that.
I can replace Like 5-10 GBP.
Or I should use 1-10 BS with no BGP? All I want is bigger EV and to stay at that Casino as long as possible , nothing else.

It is possible that using a GBP will increase your longevity, because if the GBP gets backed off you can replace him with another, but now you have to deal with issues like the fact that someone else is handling your money. Also they might not get the signals correctly. I would just play myself. At your betting limits you should have solid longevity anyway, and you can always play somewhere if you get backed off.

No, he already said that the GBP doesn't want any money, so I can't imagine he is financing the operation.
GBP isn't financing the operation, it's my money, he is only my frend and I thought I would draw too much Heat if I 'd have 1-19 bet spread on minimum table 2$-40$ so I wanted him in,
But now I am not sure should I use GBP or no on that 2$min -40$max BJ table with excellent pen.

You obviously are playing outside the US, so I don't think we have enough information concerning how knowledgeable or tolerant of card counting, the casino is or location is. And I don't think you should provide any more info about that at least publicly.

While I don't play outside the US, I have friends on these sites that do and tell me there are some goldmines out there, places that just don't care about card counting, so there is relatively no heat or countermeasures, at least at lower or medium limits.

Same thing with the GBP approach. Here in the US it is too well known, hard to pull off, anymore. Other places, still not known that well or they just don't care (except higher limits).

I would recommend contacting Bjarg or one of the other international players privately to get detailed info on heat and conditions for your location.

Thank you very much, you are right, it is outside USA.
Here, if they suspect you are a counter, they Just cut 1/2 decks in shoe game, so they don't back you off , but they fuck up your play with 50% Pen every time they see you again.
I 'll contact Barg on PM, tnx for providing me the person I can contact for outside US BJ games.
