Vancura and Fuchs in Knock-Out Blackjack say that a player can double his winning hands just by keeping track of the count, and when (for a 6-deck game, for example) the count is -22 after one deck or -17 after two decks, etc., the player should just get up and find another table, thereby avoiding playing out a bad shoe and all those losing hands. Does that sound right to you?
Double Winning Hands by Leaving Tables

When I get back home, I'll have to find the specific reference so I'll know how the KO guys phrase this. It is definitely true that leaving really bad counts will save you money, but I don't know what they're trying to say about doubling your winning hands. That sounds like a huge exaggeration of the effect, so I think there's some confusion about their statement.
Double Win Rate Per Hand
The way I read this, that is exactly what they're saying: you can almost double the number of hands you win. If all they're talking about is how much I win per hand, then that's a whole other deal. That sounds more believable, though, than doubling the number of hands you win.
