I always found it hard to sit out more than a few hands at a time, especially when there is a certain type of player who goes crazy when someone 'ruins the flow.' if i'm in a place like philly, i can't help but feel intimidated. if the count is really in the toilet i'll go to the toilet, but i can't see how i could ever sit out half the shoe.
i remember when i first started counting, i sat out for a few hands and someone at the table asked what i was doing and the dealer nonchalantly answered, "oh, he's counting." I was so embarrassed; it took all my strength not to get up and run right then. but i laughed it off, stayed a few more hands, and then left.
