from what i've been hearing and reading, anything $50 and above, they're watching like hawks. at the lower bets, they don't pay so much attention.

if the house is playing favorable rules (e.g. stand on soft 17, etc.) and you're getting good penetration into the shoe (ideally 75%), the environment should be right.

there are still a few small limit 1-2 deck games to be found - with decent penetration, these should be ideal for counting.
