trip question

[hammer]

You are goinhg for a quick 3 day trip, you have yur goals and
loss limits(I know Mayor doesn't use stop losses), you reach your
goal and make loads of cash on the first day 3rd session.

Now what?
reduce remaining sessions? and just cruise around
continue with same strategy?

or what?

"You are going for a quick 3 day trip,"

I preume you mean a cruise like Carnival? I was recently on a cruise see my post "1001 ploppy tales; Splitting tens and being called a jerk".

"you have your goals and
loss limits(I know Mayor doesn't use stop losses),"

If your are protecting your BR. Which is rsponsible. Then try and play at a higher EV: Wong, Wong out, The past few threads are about playing AC eight deck games. There is a lot of Excellent INFO on the topic of eight deckers and mierda two deck cuts.

My stop limit is when I cant take the losses any more. I am emotionaly drained so I stop. Also watch for steaming this can cause you to bet progressively. Trying to get that loss back. DANGEROUS. I takes a lot of experience and self knowledge to be a cold hearted no feeling player. One stop measure I have is being tired. If you are tired; quit; rest up and come back later or tomorrow.

"you reach your
goal and make loads of cash on the first day 3rd session."

Depends I always said if I double bank roll I would continue playing but at a low ROR or if I hit the jackpot I would go buy a house. Since this is probably not going to happen keep on counting! The reason counters go on playing is that they understand that the full benifit of the game is gained in the long run. For some it is an experiment in life not just a way to make money(the greed factor). They want to see if all that math will work itself out and reveal the advantage. Since this is based on infinity make up your own style of play just remember the big picture as well.

"Now what?
reduce remaining sessions? and just cruise around
continue with same strategy?
or what?"

Knowing how bad the games can be on the ship you will probably ride the roller coaster and keep playing looking for the advantage. I found that you actually end up playing even on those ships. One thing to shoot for is calculate what the whole trip will cost and try for that. Then the trip is free. Then go up to the pool put on the shades and have that pina colada. LTC

IMHO

Take a break to reevalute based on your new bank roll. Create a new goal and loss limit and keep playing in games with positive counts until you reach your new limits. Re-evaluate . Repeat.

 

[The Mayor]

Win goals are meaningless -- they don't earn money for you, they lose money -- bigtime. If you won as much as you hoped to win, good for you, but keep playing. The rest of the hours you play are also with a positive EV, and hence they earn even more for you (this is not a "maybe they earn more" -- simply put, they DO earn more).
