Counting in AC on newyears weekend...(first experience)

[wingnut319]

Hey guys,

i dont really post much, just try to read up..well i was in AC this weekend and my first counting experience went pretty much as i expected.

i was attempting to use KO with a IRC of -22 and a key count of -6

#1 i did not train long enough
#2 i didnt memorize all of the different plays
#3 i didnt use a large spread at all (i dont trust myself enough yet)
#4 (the worst) i didnt wong in and my bankroll wasnt large enough
(i guess i did almost everything wrong haha)

somehow im still happy with my performance as a extreme rookie. i was able to sit down at a table on a new shoe, keep a converstaion with the dealer/players and my friends that were playing as well as keep the count.

i guess this was just really me playing BS but trying to keep count as well. and im pretty proud of myself just to be able to keep the count about 90% of the time, and keep the convos.

anyway just thought i would let you guys know my progress so far..ill probably go back in a few months with a better plan (IE wonging in etc. etc.) anyone have a sugestion on how to wong in without looking to suspicious? im friendly with a few of the dealers so i was thinking of just talking to them while i scout the table?


btw
on another note.. i spotted quite a few counters, and one was getting some serious heat, they lowered the table bets down to 5-50 (i think).


sorry for the long post!

I think it's good that you noticed the strategical errors you made. They're common (I made them).

I wouldn't even sweat making index plays according to the count if you're just looking to keep going. Making the correct BS play, keeping the count correctly, and betting correctl, are often plenty of work by themselves.
