You know, while back I had a few extra bucks, and I figured it would be a good idea for reputation purposes to sit at a BJ table short-stacked (like $30), play reckless, and bust out quickly. I ended up embarking on a kamikaze positive progression.
Bet $15 (table min), win
Bet $25, double down, win, parlay all
Bet $100, get an 11, go into wallet to double again... lost
Okay, it didn't last very long, but man, if I had won that hand, I would have been $100 away from the table max. I already had visions dancing in my head of bumping into table limit, spreading to multiple hands until they wouldn't let me spread anymore, only to eventually lose it all while playing seven spots.
It would have been glorious.
It was a bummer losing the extra cash I had to pull out of wallet for that table, but not only was it a +EV bet, but it was worth it just for the dream.
