At times like this it is best to closely examine your play to assure it is just variance and not a flaw in what you are doing. Sometimes you can find a way to better your EV even if you are playing correctly.

same just happened to me. massive downswing, and on a trip. oh well, at least the trip was scenic. and there will always be the next trip. time to redo Kelly.

70 units in 10 minutes. Very high count mid shoe entry.

Absolutely, first thing I did was practise and check over everything when I got home.

Sidenote: I was up 40 units when it started so I technically lost 150 units and that happened in just under an hour. Kiiillleerrrrrrr

So these units you lost, technically or not, where did they come from?? Either they came from a hard earned BR from the civilian side or from ??????
Yeah I thought so, now get back on that bull and try hanging on for another 8 seconds!!!

140 units on one hand. 250 units in a shoe, 400 in a session.

Of course, I've gone up like that too.

Know your 3SD variance. If the potential loss is to high to tolerate, bet more conservatively.

I wasnt surprised at all.

Its a bit like running into a wall, you know whats going to happen but it still hurts...

This is good advice. Be prepared mentally and financially to drop 30-35 max bets in 1-2 session. Just the other day I was playing with another counter who was not prepared and busted out mid-shoe at True 6. Dont let this happen. My worst hit was 16 max bets in about 6 hours - it stung - but I got it all back (plus interest) in the next 12 hours.
