I lost WAY more money learning how to count cards at a table than I did actually learning how to play poker. The basic card counting strategy isn't difficult but even being able to add or subtract 1 as fast as some dealers deal is pretty tough.
1. Learn basic strategy online with a trainer app. If possible set the rules to match the casino you play at the most.

2. Learn to count cards online with trainer apps or at home yourself by counting down decks and timing yourself. Never learn in a casino.

3. You can not count cards if the dealer is using a shuffle machine.

Some card counting methods are very hard, but there are many effective methods that are not difficult at all. With just a little practice you will be able to count the table in just a few seconds using nothing more than a glance.
