    If you used it as a form of cover when using the count to Wong in/out and played only in player advantage counts, why would it not work? You are still only playing in +ev situations, are you not? Of course, one would still have to count... and one would ALSO have to have sufficient BR to support that style of play, but is not playing only on +ev counts is still playing only on +ev counts, regardless of bet size, as long as your BR can handle it?

    In many places in the USA, only on red chip tables can one enter shoes otherwise, it’s No Mid Shoe Entry. Even when you find a game that allows late entry, it’s just a matter of time before you are backed off, you cannot stand by the table counting, getting in and getting out and getting in again, on and on. You will get backed off. You could travel to play but then you have expenses to recover.

    You can do a lot of theoretical stuff. It’s like looking at a corvette’s capability to go at 100 mph or higher, see a distance of 500 miles and ask why it cannot be done in 5 hours. The road has some bends, cops and unpredictable weather and idiotic drivers.
