I really need to thank you for your spread Monkey, it increased my wins monsterously. While I understand what I was doing was pretty stupid, I had little to no experience playing negative counts because I was wonging so hard and this was a special circumstance where I needed to keep playing otherwise they were going to close the table! But anyway, thanks again for the help on the spread, and I will not make up any indices again :laugh:
in defense of youth
Meistro and I have had a discussion or two.
I know where he plays and it is a very marginal game.
Using Hi-Lo and playing sloppily, the young man has
admitted to me that he has, indeed, been very lucky.
I only mention this as it is rather easy to view him as
being arrogant. He is but a newbie and a callow youth.
No more. No less.
He has a vague idea about just how lucky he has been.

What goes up...
It happens all the time on Wall Street, people mistake luck for skill. They win big early. They make even bigger plays because they convince themselves that they have a special skill. Then, the luck runs out and they blow themselves up via a huge losing play (trade).
Is that happening here? I can't tell, but the story does have familiar ring to it.
Be careful Meistro...

That's the ticket! Play by the book (the AP's book, not the apocryphal "Book" the ploppies talk about.)
One benefit to doing everything right is that when you do have a really bad losing session, you'll walk out of the casino feeling good about what you did, instead of feeling like a loser. No worse feeling than screwing up, paying the price, and walking away knowing it is all your own fault.
