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.

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 ??????:cool2::cool2:
Yeah I thought so, now get back on that bull and try hanging on for another 8 seconds!!!
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.
Been there, done that......unfortunately. Worst feeling in the world is busting out in middle of a huge count. Won't ever let that happen again. I take way more than enough cash with me to ride that big swing since then.
Not sure if this is directed at my post or not but when I say "I went bust" I mean that I had nothing left in my pocket but lint. It was actually one of the only times I went to the ATM (I sprinted there actually) at the casino and by the time I got back to the table the shoe was gone.
Wow! I am having a hard time relating to that number, 15%, Lowrider. Better than 1 in every 7 of your sessions ends with a win or loss of 300 units or more? My number is much lower than that. I play very short session so I would expect that would reduce the number of large swing sessions. Do you play very long sessions? Or use a large spread? I can see how spreading 1-40 would create more big win and loss sessions or how someone that sits down and plays for hours at a time would have more larger swing sessions.
