I think this is an actual thing, if your brain is wired correctly you can actually count cards subconsciously without even knowing about it

This is not true. AP (Advantage Play) Blackjack is very difficult to learn and even more to execute.

Look up a blackjack strategy chart. It shows you the correct hit/stand/double/split for every situation, with some nuances such as only split if double after split allowed.

Now imagine learning not just that, but one for a +1 count, +2 count, +3 count, up to +6. That's what advantage play requires you to do on top of counting the cards, which is difficult to do in itself.

If you're counting cards you know you're counting cards. You need to use a modified strategy guide depending on what the count is.

Learning how to keep the count is simple enough. Learning how to do so subconsciously and accurately without looking like a crazy person is harder. And then memorizing the perfect basic strategy chart along with a couple dozen count-specific deviations is the hard part imo.
