Bring a BS card at the table good cover? Can't remember BS in full

OK, I have counting down cold. KO count. Am 90% there with basic strategy. Been 10 months now and still some of the BS throws me off (Mainly the soft hands). I thought the counting would be the hard part. Played online games, live dealers online, played with friends, etc. Bettings ramps, kelly betting, simulated casinos, etc. I'd like to go down to the casinos now. And I know I'm not 100% on the BS, but if I bring a BS card with me, wouldn't that actually be a good cover play?

It seems to me that a player that knows BS like the back of his hand in the eyes of a casino may just alert them that much more quicker. Of course I intend to get BS in full sooner or later, but even then, I plan on bringing a BS card with me to throw them off. Any thoughts on that strategy?

I'd like to add that so far everyone here has been great. I've tried my hardest to learn this BS by practicing almost everyday 2-3 hours a day. I guess I'm wondering if 100% BS memory is really needed if I'm going to bring a card anyway (Especially since I am 90% on the BS). Plus it sounds like good cover. Again, I plan on getting 100%. Thank you.

The BS card may be good camo but it makes me wonder if you have your priorities correct.
Worry about camo before you are playing a strong game, in my opinion, will weaken your game.
Besides some weakness in remembering BS, have you learned those indices where you deviate from basic strategy according to the count?

Do you think it will look strange to have a BS card and then in a high or low count, change your play according to the indice?

My opinion is learning to count before you have BS down 100% is counter-productive. I suggest you practice BS till it is perfect without thinking. Learn at least the illustrious 18 (and fab4 if you play games with surrender), so you know when and how to deviate from BS. Of course, have your count down pat also.
Then once you have done this go to a real casino and if you want keep a BS card in front of you. When deviating from the card perhaps make some ploppy like comment. High enough count and you have 15 vs A, and you say, "my card says hit but I think I will bust, so I surrender."

I really am trying. The soft hands are the hardest for me. Besides practicing, any tips on remembering BS? Sayings, phrases I can remember, taking herbal pills, doing a rain dance.

I mean there are what 250+ plays to remember? I guess maybe my brain needs to work a little more.

The pit will often penalize players with BS cards by giving a better skill rating and thus lower comps. Better to play perfectly and work on an overall act that makes yourself look stupid.

Your card counting will be of no use as long as you still have troubles with BS. You might lose your count whenever you have to deal with a softhand.
Your problems after months of training are quite unusual.Try to always add up your card total while you're hitting, and when faced with a softhand you should say to yourself 6 or 16, 7 or 17 according to what you got.
A good trick not to get mixed up with your card count is to use two different languages.

You can't "have counting down cold" and "Kelly betting" without basic strategy knowledge.

Counting is not the hardest part, it's dealing with your losses.
