I recently played for nearly 30 days straight in Budapest, Hungary. Went down about $6500 on the second day and was not able to recover the rest of the time there.

Since returning I am up over 30 k in about 90 hours of play. What a game !!

Anything exciting happen here while I was away ?

Glad you are back

>Anything exciting happen here while I was away ?

Yes, ZG posted a picture of a monkey drinking its piss, and I had to bust his post - first time I busted *any* post here in a very long time :cool:

It sounds like you play large stakes -- I'm guessing a $300-$500 max bet. I'm glad you are able to put down that kind of cash and keep it up, through the bad times and good. That shows a very disciplined and skilled player. I wish you much more success!

Re: Glad your....

Thanks,

I remember Zg has a tendency to get a little randy at times.

Yes that has been the range of my maximum bets.

In Budpaest the exchange rate is approx. 200 Forints to the dollar. And there were tables where the minimum bet is 200 Forints for a 6 deck, hand shuffle, 90% avg penetration. s17, split up to 3 times, das, aces only once and one card on each. There was practically no upper limit. I thought I could play forever under those rules. ans I did but just could not get antwhere with it. Very frustrating. On the way back I made up about half my losses in 6 hours on a layover.

There may have been some language, cultural, and monetray difficulties in Budapest ( Its a little scary and tough to keep track of things when you are playing in units of 100,000 and millions. Hopefully that is somethiong I will need to get used to.)

I would like to go back there. I think there are some very good games in Eastern Europe.

I think you may have mistaken me for...

Oh yes, my mistake

I do remember him fondly. A real fighter even though he did not always get it quite right.

I thin I welcomed you back upon your return from your hiatus before taking one of my own. How have you been ?

Good to see you posting.

Do you still play in the Midwest markets? You will only find me in one of two places around here anymore, and then, not very often. I have sworn off grinding nickles out of those 8-deckers long ago.

Returned from Vegas/Reno yesterday morning. Just about break even for 20 hours of play.
