Close to a year. My wife and I had relocated for her new job and shortly thereafter, she had some major health issues. I already had benefits thru her but wasn't going to be able to work a conventional 8 to 5 job as I had to do a lot of caretaking for her. I certainly knew the game and I had no problem getting "irregular hours" (aka swing shift). And with this I had to cut back quite a bit on my play. I obviously couldn't play where I dealt, but sports betting is the bulk of my AP play.
I remember one instance where I had been dealing for maybe only 6 weeks but I was quite confident. I come back from break and before I get to my table, a female pit person stops me and whispers "the guy at 1B is betting several blacks per hand". I look at her like, yeah, so? I dealt to a guy betting $500/hand on my first day. I asked her if she thought he was an AP. "Oh, I have no idea of that". I was like, OK she has no idea what to look for. A month or two after that, she was counting my rack during a hand and a player asked me what the book said for his 2 twos against my upcard of 2. I told the player the book was to split (we did have double down after split) and the floorwoman interrupts me "oh no, you don't want to split 2s." I didn't argue with her. When she left I did tell the player, yes, she was wrong and splitting the 2s WAS the right move. The moral of the story is most of the floor is clueless re: advantage play. And the majority of dealers are as clueless on basic strategy as the ploppies.

Your parents should not wait until they die to distribute some of their wealth. If they have a large estate they will be hit with an estate tax, I think it kicks in at a little over 5 million, but each parent can give something like $15,000 per year without even reporting it.
