I was in Reno last weekend came back today. Not many visitors because of the bad weather last weekend. I play KO full with some RA indices. Without going to sesion by session since I played too many spread over 25 hours. I am a red chipper and my trip bankroll is 40 max bets(1-5 spread). My total BR is 400 units. My stay is already comped. Played in Boomtown most of the time. Excellent penentration in their single deck games. Heads up available after
1 AM till 10. I was comped fully (room and food)

On 12/20/02 -- Up 80 units in boomtown.
12/21/02 -- Down 100 units which is 180 units negative swing.

12/22/02 -- Down 40 units.

Total trip loss is 140 units.

Except for the first 6 hours which I was up by 80 units the rest is brutal. Hand after dealers are making 20 and 21. Never won two max bets in a row. Just before coming I just flat bet for about 30 mins just to see how unkucky I am. I lost 20 units in that time.Fantastic penentration found lot of heads up games but its the dealer getting all the big cards during +ve counts. Well I need a big break to forget this.

Very sorry...

I lost 400 units in about 30 hours last July. This game can eat you up inside.

I hope your rest brings you back to the tables in better spirits!

Happy holidays,

--Mayor

Re: Very sorry... -140u...

... w/ 5u topBet over several hours is NOTHING - it swings back the other way even quicker - +100u in a 1hr session is NOTHING - in BJ you LOVE THE SWINGS and love having enough BR to keep playing, win or lose! zg

Ps - I have lost as much as 400u in 20hrs of 1D play (8u topBets)

Brutal, but the Battle is Not Over!

You took a good kicking and you feel beat up. Down $700, you feel like you have a huge hole to crawl up out of. If you give up now, you will be like so many counters before you who took a good pounding and gave up. Let yourself "heal" for a while and go get them again when you are ready. Leave that $700 in your log book and start fresh. Don't go back with revenge on your mind. Just go back and fight them again. Continue to fight, no matter what happens (unless you find the dealer is cheating). The longer you fight them the more likely it will be that you will defeat them and bring home the prize. Enjoy your comps, you have earned them. Maybe you should be keeping track of what they are worth in another log. A 1%-2% edge is nothing in the gambler's short run, but it is enough in the advantage player's long run.
