We re-sized frequently. We were actually underbetting our roll quite severely... betting 300x2 when we had 53k. Bringing that down as we lost money. We actually didn't get banned from any place where we used BP. All my poker is online. The MAIN reason why we stopped isn't the losses...

Hey all who remember me. So the summer for us started at the end of April. A teammate and I practiced counting and went for a 3 day trip to the Seneca Niagara region to do some banking work and count. We strictly backcountetd the whole time and ended up down a little over 6k. Shitty way to...

hey can someone tell me how the situation in AC is right now? i heard that many of the casinos have designated smoking places. and overall only about 25% of each casino allows smoking. one of my team members is asthmatic so this would be very helpful. basically can someone who needs to...

thanks. so you don't think that like the article i linked descibes trying to bank losses is a good idea? you play solely on a set time bases. can you tell me what is the avg session time your team plays? lets say how long would you play at caesars atlantic city? ballys?

no i meant "negative". if you are down money then you can leave banking a loss at the casino. clearly we are all playing +EV games. so can i get someone of the guys to weigh in on the article by johnny c? i thought it was really good. are we agreeing that the info there is still relevant...

omg YES. soooo happy this has happened. btw smoking is banned in all establishments in quebec and ontario (probably more of canada but i don't know for sure). but yes. this is amazing. i'm coming to AC in 2 months.

just clarifying... i'm not talking about trying to keep playing a marathon session till you post a loss. I'm talking about capping sessions at a predtermined time. lets say 1-2 hours. then once the one hour mark hits you keep playing till the two hour mark until you post a loss. if you happen to...

please don't comment in my thread cause you clearly don't know anything. i got the idea i'm referring to from here: http://www.bj21.com/bj_reference/pages/commonmistakes.shtml

the idea is to do deck countdowns practicing both pairing and 1 at a time. when a dealer hits someone several times pair counting won't help you. i use the pairing for when the 2nd cards are dealt to each player. after that on each hit i count it as it comes. 25 seconds or less is good i'd say...

In light of the quitting while ahead strat that is often proposed I wanted to discuss this one which I don't see talked about often. Okay so we know if you quit while behind you're gonna get many small losing sessions and the giant wins. Now lets talk cost benefit. The costs are obvious...

wtf? have you read any of this thread?? clearly EZ knows how to count and i'm sure he does keep perfect count most of the time. hes been doing this a long time. he knows what needs to be done and the value of practicing. the problems hes going through are faced by a lot of ppl who can count...

pssh. that is according to traditional "math" techniques. i use a method of studying the sacred flow while memorizing every card and in tough spots i pray to insure my edge.

i recently lost 5k flat betting $50/hand over 100k wagering. I think you should seriously reconsider how much you tip. I only tip at the end of a shoe. and even then only if i win. This is taking a huge chunk out of your hourly. Also i think your RoR is MUCH bigger than you think it is because...

careful in windsor... i got banned there in 2 days. albeit i was playing very obviously but that is unusual esp for canada.

whoa. don't know where you got half a mil from. but i think someone can start considering BP if hes got a team and got 50k. you can probably hold off on BP until you've got 100k though. but at that point you reeeeally need it cause your unit is gonna get way too much attention.
