Naive, and new, card counters are usually the last to find out just how obvious it is no matter what they do.
So Gottlob1 plays blackjack hun? Do you take up all six seats at the table with your 6 different personalities?

But he is right that they days of trying to "trick" anybody are long gone. To achieve longevity now is more about identifying and playing limits that are better tolerated. Limits that someone probably knows what you are doing but, it is just not worth the hassle and paperwork to take any action. But spreading $100 to $5000 is NOT limits that are tolerated anywhere for more than a few minutes.

And once you identify just what limits you can play that will be at least somewhat tolerated, while the days of "tricking" anybody are long gone, there are some things you can do to slow the process, like spreading both ways, and playing shorter session to thwart the evaluation process. But a 10 hour session, spreading $100 to $5000, and taking every purple chip in the tray, is just fantasy...pure fantasy.
