Vegas blackjack card counting question

 JSTAT has answered questions at kingjstat@yahoo.com regarding card counting and casinos throughout the years. The Moviemakerjjcasino YouTube Channel teaches the JSTAT Count and here is a email question on how to play in Las Vegas.

Question about the JSTAT Count:
Hello hope all is good I have enjoyed ur utube videos. The last 2 months I got into black jack. Been studying basic strategy and the hi/lo count until I saw ur vids & read ur articles. Im planning a Vegas trip in feb.or march taking a bank roll of about $800-$1000 and the plan is to use ur method table hopping on the $25 min. 2 deck & 6-8 deck games w/good player rules. Is that suicide or should I play on lower limit tables until I get a bigger bank roll & more experience. I get the concept on the double deck game but the 6-8 deck leaves me a little confused cause r u still focused on leaving the table with fewer aces and a bad count? Cause my thinking is even with fewer aces but a good count basic strategy will beat the dealer. Thanks for taking the time to read this I really need to tweak my game before this trip. Any advice ia greatly appreciated. 

JSTAT's answer:
The ace side count is better suited for single/double decks and should not be used for the six deckers.  Use late surrender and play at games that stand on soft 17, re-split aces, double after splits at 6 deck games in Vegas. MGM Grand, Mirage, Bellagio, Aria, NY-NY, are among the casinos that offer great six deck. Learning late surrender reduces the fluctuations of your bankroll. Back count the six deck games and place $25 bets at true counts of +1 or more. The $25 bets should give you plenty of gunpowder to fire at Vegas Strip casinos with your 1k bankroll.
