I took a severe beating the other day, I lost 28 max bets over a couple of sessions. This will really make you start thinking about life. I climbed back into the saddle a few days later and got 60 units back, but not enough to get the bankroll back to where it should be. I did have something interesting happen to me while playing. The count skyrocketed, +22 TC (AOII) and I pushed out 2 max bets. The dealer has a 10 showing and I hold my breath as he checks for BJ. Whew! No blackjack, now I confidently check my first hand, expecting a 20, possibly even a BJ. DAMN! I draw a 10 and a 5 for 15, knowing I can't possibly take a hit, I tuck my cards. Now, surely my second hand will be a BJ or at least a 20. I couldn't believe my eyes, 10 and 6 for a 16. I was the last player so I tucked it as well. I'm sitting there just knowing all is lost, not believing I could possibly get 2 stiffs with such a monster count. The dealer flips over his hole card, before I can see it I'm practically pushing my chips into his tray. I look up and could not believe my eyes! He had a 6 in the hole for 16, then draws a face card and busts!!! What an awesome feeling! Just when you think all is lost the improbable happens. What a rollercoaster ride this game is.
Just One of Those Days!

Hey SammyBoy
Makes it all just that much more fun when you win 2 chunky hands when your otherwise up zhit creek with D showin' 10. LOL
)))))))))
Also amazing how sometimes we're sitting there basking in the glory of the moment with 2 chunky hands, D's showin' 8, we have a pair of faces on each and then D somehow makes a 5 card 21 out of a +20 TC. Go figure. Happened to me a couple of weeks ago. Oh what a bellyache. whine whine

I have been having one of those days for about 5 sleeples days over the past week and a half in 4 different casinos in 3 different cities, 3states and 2 countries. Fortunately I am still positive for the year but I have been taking a real pounding. I am still giving the game the opportunity to kiss and make it up to me.
This morning I was playing one hand in a very high count shoe game - UBZII and got a series of about 6 hands of T-6 or 5 (the dealer consistently showing a T up through the whole shoe - and actually shoe after shoe. He was also making hands of 19-21 almost routinely. either in the first two cards or drew as many as three or four cards to make the totals. This went on hand after regardless of how the count fluctuated -2 to +5 TC) I waived the hand off each time and the dealer either had the pat card underneath or drew to make his hand again regardless of the hole card. If the hole card was an 8 he drew a 2 or 3, hole card a 5 he drew a 5 or 6. Nearly with out fail and not once busting. The only consolation to me was that my waiving off 15 and 15 drove the ploppies away from the table.
