I have been to LV three times. The first trip I won $14,000 in a short period of time, probably within 20 hours of play. My second trip is when it gets ugly. I lost 20k nearly immediately, nearly recuperate the whole thing then go on the ugliest run of cards I have yet to see. I lost 20k in 3.5 hours of play. Fast forward a few months and I'm in Las Vegas again. This trip I'm about 20 hours of play in and I've lost $28,500. My max bet is 2x500 at most.
I'm a professional, it's the only thing I've ever done. BJ has always been my sole source of income. I have played slightly over 2,000 hours now. I have yet to see anything like I've experienced in Las Vegas. I'm use to taking big losses on occasion but here in LV it feels like I'm getting robbed. After not many hours of play I leave every casino at least 3k poorer.
At this point I don't know what to do. I'm taking a day off to rest my mind. Throughout my career I've had a steady ascent upwards for every 500 hour block played. I just increased my stakes to 2x500 and ever since I have had the worst results of my life. I have only won 10k after 500 hours of play. I thought I was finally pulling away from my horrendous run of cards but then I just lost $28,500 in 20 hours of play and my hopes were violently ripped away. Now I'm resizing my bets and changing my strategy to lower my variance.
