Do two card counters hurt each other at the same table using different counting systems in terms of EV?
Some civilians get pissed when you split a pair of 9s against the Dealer's 8's and 9's, or double on A-7 against Dealer's 6.
Better yet, its fascinating hearing them express their irritation with you and watch their facial expressions that reflect their desire to leave the table, and not play with you anymore, when you split a pair of 4's against a Dealer's 5 or 6 (Depending upon your DC/TC). Most recent time I played that hand, I heard from the player at 1st base something along the lines of: "Why the [insert your own curse words here] are you splitting and taking the Dealer's bust card? Your not supposed to do that at 3rd base. Your going to make me lose my money." Obviously, I kept my mouth shut, took my winnings, and played on.
Best part of that, I won two (2) bets, the player at 1st base did end up losing his 12 hand as dealer made a 17 (perhaps an 18, not 100% recollection ATM), and the other guy left the table so that I had heads up play time with my new BFF, the Dealer.
"Your honor, with all due respect: if you're going to try my case for me, I wish you wouldn't lose it."

Do you really think ploppies care about that kind of stuff. Your better off teaching them hi Opt 2 with the FBM ASC. They wouldn't give a shit about hi Opt 2, but might take a liking to the FBM ASC - for feel good play. To retain your consistency, if the hi Opt brigade could give me a couple more unhelpfuls.
