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.)
