As somebody that played both the NJ/Missouri model for 5 years and the Nevada model of the cat and mouse game for 17 years now,, the Nevada model is night and day superior for a card counter. You just learn to play that cat & mouse game, what is and isn't tolerated at different casinos and you can play for years. NJ/Missouri on the other hand has only one option and that is to make the game unplayable with things like bet restricting and preferential shuffling.
