what does this mean: "this all assumes play all(no wonging)"??

this means you can't sit out of hands during the shoe with a negative count, nor can you jump into a shoe only when the count is high. you have to bet at least the minimum $25 each hand even when there is a negative expectation.

according to the recent issue of CBJN, all Borg tables with limits $25-6000 are No Mid Shoe Entry. you might be able to backcount at the lower $10-1000 tables, but then the OP friend's claim of a $8-10K win would be overwhelmingly unlikely.
