A true litmus test. No joke. However, once you hit the casino, you need at least one working partner to signal you to hot tables, or it becomes too much of agrind. Most people think counting 6 decks is harder than one, but as you know its really no diff. Just more patience. In the end, your success hinges on 2 things- adequate bankroll to withstand the downside, and being able to manage yourself. George
