i agree. counters down really worry about finishing a session up or down(unless your winning A LOT and drawing heat)....we're just trying to play more hands in order to reach the long run faster.

Nothing unusual

You were playing against the house edge for 4 hours. You shouldn't expect to break even. For a BS player, breaking even is considered winning and losing $40 is considered breaking even.

-Sonny-

P.S. - Don't blame yourself for losing money. The casino had just as much to do with it as you did.

UNLESS you had had it with their stupidity and inane talk...except if the count is going positive, and then...well, there ARE ways to clear the table and have it all to yourself!:grin:

Sounds okay. Was there a good reason to quit at 1:00?
Tired? Worsened conditions?

OH, you're a basic strategist? zg

What I did

when this idiot followed me to the other table, a table where a good player that I know was at....

we both said we would not play until he was done.... he got the message and moved on

Do you understand that the "bad player" and the "good player" have no effect whatsoever on the results of your play?

That's what everyone is getting at here.

And calling other members "ploppies" for coming clean on a mistake makes you a "BALLER"?!? :confused: Way to be constructive like Sonny.

Which makes this the perfect forum for his thread (Blackjack-General)...not the Card Counting forum :) I give the man points for organization :eyepatch:
 
#18
Yes .. you are correct

this is the General forum... that is why I did not put it into
the card counters are...

anyway...;... I agree that is it very UN COOL to call anyone here a Ploppie.... a Ploppie does not have a clue,, refuses to research or read a damm thing

anyway,, off to Vegas Friday... I will report in
