My main question is if a card counter that is extremely fliered and databased and watched in a certain area will be allowed to play a blackjack tournament. I'm playing in an area with many casinos and I have been backed off of the majority but NOT by the one hosting the tournament.

So the casino makes a lot more money with more buy ins but they probably want the cash prizes going to local gamblers that will just give it back to them. Also, I never play table games here for obvious reasons so how strange is it for someone to just walk in, hardly any play on their card, and be allowed to participate?

25,000$ cash prizes with 15,000$ going to winner. 100$ buy in and unlimited buy ins allowed. It must be much better to do this with team play amd split winnings.

Any tips greatly appreciated. Not doing this really for the EV but mostly for the novelty. Never been in one before.
