one question:
what is the best method to piss off other APs if you found a place and want it alone for you? make a contract with casino personnel, for example i tell you who he is and you let me in again? or just an anonymous mail to the casino at which table on which day you have seen him and what he does?
the answer to this question seems to be much more important than any counting skill. BJ secret number one. BJ secrets are:

1. avoid others to exploit your place. if another goes there and leaves alive this is even more harmful than if you are barred.
2. avoid get barred too quickly. but not as important as point 1

i suggest anonymous mail to casino may be the best. and of course do not begin to play if a "collegue" is there.
any other suggestion? this would bring new life into this board that is nearly dead.
