    Playing with card counters???

    Card counters are a very rare entity here in the town where I live. I have only ever come across one other card counter in the three months I have been playing at my local casino, and even this individual does not play very aggressively (typically spreads 1-8).

    What I have noticed is that as soon as I start a game with him playing he leaves the table at the end of that shoe. Do you also head for door when there is another counter playing at your table?

    (Side note: I have now won four successive sessions with a total profit of $2500 between them and my losing streak is well and truly over.)

    Probably left when you came over staring at all the cards and putting your fingers on the discard tray to measure decks.

    The best thing that you can do is leave as soon as possible. I have never seen another counter as far as I know. However the other night I was playing a 2D with one other person at the table. When I would raise my bets, so would he. He didn't match my bet but it was obvious that he was using me as a guide for when to raise his bets. I left soon after.

    Don't walk into others people's game. I have many occasion id counters before they even start spreading. Takes one to know one. I have and can stop them id me if i wanted but never tried to but would leave if i came later. if i feel i was there 1st and they should leave i would stay a bit longer to see how he/she reacts.Only on one occasion did i make the mistake of not leaving ,he/she was not sure about me and clearly was a rookie/crash and burn type. I am no veteran but this guy just screams counters .i had a few times i met 1 /2 counters that watch out for other counters that comes into the game and adjust accordingly and had me unsure but highly suspicious so i left.

    Refusing to wong another's table is called professional courtesy. It's also called class.

    Thanks. I get the feeling it is a combination of etiquette and mutual preservation.
    For the record I won $785 today to take my winning streak to five.

    And it's also called "costly".

    Yeah, I'm in the camp called opportunists and it's seldom that I'll pass up good counts. Fun is good-----profit is better.

    I remember every person that I identified as a counter the thought process in my head would always be "hmmm, I wonder if they are on any of the forums." LOL.

    But I play shoe games in the sticks, so if an AP joins my table I'll typically switch tables once the shoe ends to get a heads up game again, same for a plop joining my table.

    It simply means you have to put in more hours to make the same return because some wonger robbed you of a portion of your e.v. I don't like wongers. I hate 'em.
