still climbing
I just reached another all-time high this week. I am so new that I probably shouldn't even be in this thread.
I go more by trip-to-trip when I think about all-time highs. I could have reached this amount in an earlier trip and lost it so quickly that I wasn't aware of it.

Enjoy
According to "The Theory of Blackjack" you won't be at an all time high 90% of the time. It always seems like you were further ahead in the past, and are always catching up. Enjoy it while you can!

Ouch!
That is tough! It will turn around, you just have to hope you don't wear out your welcome as it begins to swing back in your favor.
I am also a lifetime loser at one particular casino that offers a positive ev game for a basic strategy ploppy. I have played more hours at this casino than any other. I cannot understand why I am a loser there. There are many other casinos with weaker games where I'm significantly ahead. Go figure.

Bad streak
It's a bad streak and I've been done all the normal things: practice, analyze my play, practice, look at the particular conditions of the really bad losses, practice, reread some of my favorite books for inspiration, practice...you get the picture.
Funny thing is, I seem to have discovered a particular pattern to the devastation. Much of it involves a single dealer who gives 5/6 or better penetration. I began to suspect a little overbetting on my part at the end of the deep shoe (damn unbalanced count) and I made an adjustment or two in my play. I began inching back up until March when an otherwise pleasant dealer at Caesar's beat the crap out of me in one nightmarish weekend.
So...there might be a silver lining after all. At my absolute worst point, I was 915 units down from my all time high. But May was better and so far June looks good. July will see me back in Vegas for a little revenge on Rome. (God, I look forward to the food!) And to top it off, I might have learned something from all this flogging.
Best,
ZOD
