I never lost (1960 units) just the 225 that I was up in Vegas in the last 2 days of that trip, and then maybe 150 units or so on the next couple of visits at my home casino. Then I had to quit and only practice to keep my mind off things. What I'm saying is that I maybe would have lost my real...

I'm not a great writer for sure. But in the 3rd paragraph of the original post I said that I didn't lose my entire br. The point of my post, was to throw it out there, that bad variance knows no boundaries. I only lost part of my br but lost over 2000 in my practice play with hardly any winning...

Well I have been off the forum for quite some time now, I guess I got a little gun shy with some bad variance. My trip to Vegas 2 years ago I was up 225 units in the first 2 days only to watch it melt away in the next 2 days this was the start of what would wipe out my 1960 unit bank roll that...

Blazzin22, At the risk of sounding doubtful, in your original post you stated that you sometimes ask for better pen. Since a back counter doesn't play the start of a shoe, how do you ask for better pen. Do you simply stand behind the other players and say can you go deeper, I need to win back my...

Yes, it's ok to roam around down town at night, but only under the canopy of Freemont st. If you step outside of that your asking for trouble. Some say its ok to go up to EC but I would only do that during the day. The Deuce is easy to use just kind of slow. The time that it takes really...

Hey Rich, you still playing?

I always play at 4 Queens when I'm in Vegas I usually do well at their sd but only play for .75 hour max. Spreading $10-40 or 15-60 It isn't the best sd game as they use a cut card but I always go back cause I do well there.

Yes, my thoughts exactly. I learned something about heat on that trip, to trust your instincts. I first got backed off from the Western and decided at that point not to play at the Plaza until the last day, because I was staying there and didn't want to get booted from my hotel room. Because I...

When I was at the Nugget in June they were cutting to 1.8d using a slot in the shoe.

I'm not sure about the conditions DT Vegas now but in June when I was there the pen and heat was brutal. El Cortez was good as usual but you better be good at playing under the radar cause they watch everyone. I didn't see a 4 deck game at the Plaza but the 2d game was pretty good, having said...

With my last downtown Vegas experience I basically got the same thing everywhere I went. The stare down upon buying in, and watched the whole time, so bad that for me, it sucked the fun out of it. I'm a low roller (thats why I was DT in the first place,) ($5-80) The thing is, I can understand...

My trip to Vegas at the end of May certainly gave the answer to the effect of the movie 21. Downtown they were hawking my play so bad I couldn't enjoy it, in fact it made me not want to play at all, I guess that is the point of heat, anyway, Last year's trip I was playing at a higher betting...

Do you mean Binions was paying 6:5 on DD and 6D? When I was there a year ago it was 6:5 on SD only.

What always gets me is when you make the most basic index play, stand on 16 vs 10 theres always 1 ploppy that starts up. But if you watch the game carefully he will be the one to stand on A7 vs 9,10 or A. So if my standing on 16 in a + count messes up the secred flow of cards, so does the...

The math says in the long run it won't work! Just trying to be honest with the guy.
