    RANT -200 units in 80 hrs of play.

    In addition, I had my two worst losing sessions ever, BACK TO BACK...a record that still stand to this day....once I got through that, nothing was gonna bother me....I lost almost 250 units ON A SINGLE SHOE after this experience and was almost completely unfazed. When you've had your own...

    RANT -200 units in 80 hrs of play.

    Best thing that ever happened to me was unbelievable horrible negative variance almost as soon as I began playing...in 12 visits I lost 700 units which was a VERY LARGE percentage of my 900 unit bankroll...steadily over the succeeding almost 20 visits I got it all back and landed a few hundred...

    cost of ror

    I must plead ignorant to the Kelly methodology...I see no justification for it...I simply try to play with a good old simple .5 % OR LESS ROR. Which basically gives me a 1 in 200 chance of blowing my bankroll....I can live with that.

    Question on comps

    Unless your endgame is to play for comps.....NEVER PLAY FOR COMPS....just play whatever strategy that is appropriate given the game at hand and your BK....my rule of thumb is to never adjust your play for comps...unless of course that is why u r playing

    If I were to use all of wongs 90 some odd indexes...

    I don't think skipping hands or wonging IN is possible in most DD games as any DD I have ever seen are exclusively NMS entry

    Just got slaughtered for 110 units, I want to cry :cry:

    Wow...I think we need some modicum of reason here..I wouldn't stop my car to pull over and take a steamy **** on 110 units WIN OR LOSS. WTF? What's the big deal here? I am on the low end of the high roller spectrum and can tell you that overwhelmingly, probably 75% of my sessions thru October...

    Degenerate gamblers

    It is difficult to imagine any person achieving long term, sustainable success as an AP without having some level of addiction to the game of choice. I know that I am addicted, as I imagine most if not all other successful APs are, but I will not play without an advantage unless I'm doing...

    Splitting 10s

    I have been backed off three times in my career ... ALL three times were IMMEDIATELY AFTER SPLITTING TENS! I have since retired this play from my arsenal

    Risk of Ruin

    Looking for a simple definition of ROR? Using QFIT's fine CVCX, if I input various parameters and say start with a $10K bankroll and the ROR on CVCX comes up 5%, what does this mean exactly? A 5% chance of doubling my bankroll before going bust? A 5% chance of reaching N0 before going...

    Getting started Questions: EV & Bankroll

    While rare, a 10%+ advantage in BJ card counting is certainly possible....think about a TC of 20+...which mirrors to a little less than 10% advantage depending upon the rules.

    This is what playing BJ is all about.

    When you win big.... ....keep your head on a swivel. A few times too many after a moderate to heavy win I've had a number of new "friends" looking for me to share the wealth. I was surly to them to say the least and they left me alone. Except for one fella that actually tracked me down to...

    OP...how many units did you win?

    Just got slaughtered for 110 units, I want to cry :cry:

    15% of the time I have won or lost 300+ units in a single session. Try handing that. 110 units is normal.

    Just got slaughtered for 110 units, I want to cry :cry:

    Lmfao 110 units? Looking at my play log, I have won or lost 110 units or more 61% of the time. If you can't handle this extremely normal, expected fluctuation, maybe you shouldn't be playing right now?

    Do you tell people you're an AP?

    Told my GF only which was much better than not telling her....running off to the BJ tables for countless hours without having a reasonable chance to win would destroy my relationship. Because she is smart and mathematically adept she understands the small percentage favor in my direction....was...
