i agree. counters down really worry about finishing a session up or down(unless your winning A LOT and drawing heat)....we're just trying to play more hands in order to reach the long run faster.

Default Nothing unusual
You were playing against the house edge for 4 hours. You shouldn't expect to break even. For a BS player, breaking even is considered winning and losing $40 is considered breaking even.

P.S. - Don't blame yourself for losing money. The casino had just as much to do with it as you did.

UNLESS you had had it with their stupidity and inane talk...except if the count is going positive, and then...well, there ARE ways to clear the table and have it all to yourself!
