Op is counting 52 cards in a basement game, he's found his calling, until he encounters a shoe

Or worse.

For his sake, I hope he takes his winnings so far and walks.

Clowning on a bunch of underground gambling rings is a good way to end up on a lot of shitlists of a lot of less than scrupulous people.

The good thing about underground gambling rings is that 2k is hardly an amount worth shitlisting about...

I assume you aren't talking of a literal shoe?

A shoe is several decks shuffled together. Usually they'll go though less then half the shoe before shuffling and starting over, making your counting much less effective.
