It's been 1 year since I started to learn / employ BS and hi / lo card counting and thought I'd post my results.
I've made 11 trips to vegas / laughlin and play a min bet of $25 and spread 1-6. I play strickly at MGM in vegas and Golden Nugget / Pioneer in Laughlin. I play the DD and 6D games with the various rules offered at each of the properties. Sometimes I backcount sometimes I don't. Sometimes I look for deep pen sometimes I don't. This year perhaps i'll work on my disipline among other things. 43 sessions later I'm down $450 from laughlin and up $1700 in vegas for a net $1250 win, after tipping (not much but hey its a win!). Veiwing my MGM gaming win/lose tax info they have me as a $1600 loser! So pocketing the blackies every now and again works!
Every trip I run exactly $1000 through the magestic lions slots at the MGM and after that regardless if I'm up or down I stop. Between that and my table action I receive free rooms and a partial FB comp. In Laughlin my table action gets me a free room.
I have read these boards from the start and have learned alot (one day I'll get around to implementing it!) While I in no way consider myself an AP, I have fun playing and trying to win some of the casiono's money. It's been a nice change as before all this, I used to lose damn near everytime I stepped up to a BJ table.
