Best way to count?

[Counting_Is_Fun]

You have to cancel in pairs or even more like Freightman says...if you stare at every card as it comes out it is just way too obvious. You have got to mix it up and pretend you are not interested, talking etc. Then you have to become good at just scanning the table while the pit isn’t looking, and pick up an accurate count. Literally in like 1 or 2 seconds.

Cancel. It’s faster and yes less mental fatigue. Eventually seeing the cards becomes natural and you can count an entire table in just a couple seconds.

Second that and would add as you get more experience you will be cancelling 3 and 4 card combinations. Watch the TV while they're dealing then get to it...
