Already, I don't handle it well. How about "you're" at a table?!! :-)

Yes. What is your alternative? Walk away? Cut back? In order to accomplish what? Find another table with another high count, which you already have in front of you? Makes no sense.

Probably exactly right. Should be about 50-50. But, you get to: double, split, receive 3 to 2 for naturals, stand on 12-16, and take insurance and surrender. The dealer doesn't. Advantage to the player! But, you're going to lose as many hands as you win.

Until it's no longer in your favor.

A real bitch, isn't it?

17 in a row doesn't happen all that often. Reputable place?

You're either in it for the high counts, or you're not in it at all.
