ACE,
Do you ever play in any of the indian reservations up there. I used to live in Lansing and would occasionally go up to Mt. Pleasent. They caught those guys with only 2 aces in a 6 deck shoe a bunch of times. I'm sure the MGM doesn't do that, just curious if you've ever had a problem.
Also since your a card counter as well I was curious if you don't mind me asking how do you bet when you play blackjack. I make my bet according to what the true count is. If the count is say 15 with 3 decks still in the shoe, than my true count would be 5. Than I take my normal betting unit, say $20 just for the hell of it. And multiply it by the true count. So multiply $20 by 5 to get a $100 bet.
