    Table Conditions are as follows:

    Penetration
    S17 vs H17
    Number of Decks (1,2,3,4,6,8)
    Unlimited Doubling or Restricted Doubles
    Splits ~ unlimited or limited to 2 or 3 or 4 hands
    Double after Split permitted or forbidden
    Blackjack pays 3:2 or 6:5 or 1:1
    Side Bets ~ slowing the game speed
    Side Bets ~ exploitable?
    Player Crowding?
    Dealer Speed (50 to 200 hands per hr.)
    Dealer errors.
    Level of heat?
    Casino Database Subscriber? Contributor?
    Table minimums/maximums
    Requires increased bets for multiple hands?
    Late Surrender? Early Surrender vs. Ten?
    etc.
    etc.
    I think your selection of tables to play have far more to do with your success than the count you use.

    Poorly worded. it stinks of subjective voodoo nonsense.
    Your (short-term) "success" is NOT a "table condition."
    This is no more than pure superstition derived from
    "selective memory" That is what it sounds like to me.
    I am aware that (pathological) ploppies think that way.
