mark,
your current strategy will have you losing money , no matter how great you count cards ... your feeling is a false sense of security , listen to not just me , but dieter , moo and the other guys here are your best source of help , unless you know what card will be dealt next , or know the dealers hole card ...
even perfect basic strategy will have us as long term losers ... of somewhere like -.6 to -.2 .... the trick is to get a very slight bump of a few percents by knowing something of the remaining cards.... so counting cards is a two or three part process , it isn't like the movie 21 ... which makes card counting seem like we wait till the deck is high count and stay on your pair of kings or blackjack each time.... and win every night .... with huge monster counts I've constantly have been dealt 12s - 17s or soft 15 and hit another 10 and lose against a dealer low card.... but this is my path , long term I'll be a winner , basic strat isn't too tough to learn with a solid few weeks of work. I memorized stiffs easy but the harder parts ; i wrote pieces of basic strat on post its or small pieces of paper on my computer screen each week ... took a few weeks or a month , and ordered books from barns and noble , and even purchased norms book , small prices to pay for a long term investment ...best wishes , nikky
