I want to get better at playing blackjack.  What does it mean to be a card counter?

A card counter is someone who has the ability to keep track of every card that has been played in a blackjack game. By noting the high cards and low cards that have been dealt, the card counter can gain an edge by betting more when the odds are in their favor. Card counters will usually have an extra pack of cards with them, so that they can instantly take a count of the decks and estimate the value of their odds in any given hand.
