    Perfectly strategic. This has been championed in the past in "Blackjack for Blood"

    A great book and a fine method to generate longevity, with lowered variance - at a reasonable cost in e.v.

    i think if you just get one of those runs where you get nuetral and negative counts for a while it's best just to leave
    it looks really weird if you just never raise your bet for an hour then all of the sudden start going crazy

    I don't know, I once played at a store and had a session like that where I flat bet minimum for half an hour or whatever and decided I would be stealthy and just leave. (Wasn't my first session there).

    Got backed off on my next return visit before I could play a hand. So I say get the EV in when you can, you never know what will happen tomorrow.

    I've gone from min to max in this scenario without anything happening except for a remark from the dealer, but that was in some very tolerant and/or oblivious stores baccarat. In general I think it would be best to just push out a modest bet and play the next shoe.
