Thoughts on wonging in: The key to wonging in, is having access to a good size number of tables in close proximity, but not necessarily in the same casino. South strip is one of the prime locations for this. But, back-counting draws attention and you won't be able to back-count long and enter more than a couple different times in one casino without them knowing what you are up to. Maybe a couple more times in a large store like MGM. In addition, places have different rules which don't make it as easy as it once was. Depending on location and stakes, NMSE. If they do allow mid shoe entry some places have restrictions like table minimum wager, one hand only, or one flat bet of your choosing for the shoe entered, which can still work, but these types of restrictions indicate there is a level of concern and entering mid shoe draws some level of attention.
If you are willing to play until a negative count of 2, as your post indicates, an alternative is playing off the top of the shoe (entering at the shuffle) and still exiting at count of -2. You will be playing a few more hands at neutral counts, but still 'escaping' the most severe negative counts while drawing far less attention.
I will add, that prime time for wonging is high noon and just after, maybe until about 2pm. Most casinos open a bunch of tables at that point, making the table to player ratio more friendly. This also ties up pit personnel for a period of time. In addition at a location like the strip, which has visitors coming and going everyday, there is less active gamblers right at mid day, with those leaving having had to check out at 11am while those arriving that day are going through the check-in process and not yet participating in the gambling activities.
