After 13 consecutive losing sessions I finally left the casino with money tonight. I finished up 80 units, which means I'm still down about 450 units in the last 6 weeks or so. I went to a different casino tonight from my regular stop...a casino I've never left with money before. Go figure.

Hopefully the start of a trend in the other direction for you. :) A series of losing sessions can be very trying indeed! Probably the most difficult part to master.

Yeah, even when I was up quite a bit tonight I was breathing heavy and my heart was beating faster when I put a big bet on the table. I didn't have this problem until I got quite a ways into the losing streak. I hope that part of it subsides soon too.

Sometimes it pays to go to a store you usually lose at. I have won the most as an AP at the place I LOST the most at as a BS player.

Conversely, I have had a very tough time at a store that I usually won at with just BS.

There is light at the end of the tunnel, I had a losing spell and in the last week have had my best week ever (aided by some lucky VP wins, 4 deuces in two consecutive trips :eek: )

Good for you, counting does work after all:grin: Did you increase your spread this time?

You mean go figure the notion of venues being lucky or unlucky is not prudent, right? I suppose many of us succomb to that thinking occasionally. But assuming it's not a matter of actual playing conditions being at issue, one venue shouldn't be consistently better or worse than another. Although, if someone thinks there is a different energy or luck or something similar, it could very well influence their play on a subtle level.

No. The casino I visited last night had higher minimums than my usual stomping grounds. My bankroll is pretty well depleted so I was a bit cautious and conservative. I wasn't getting good hands for the most part but the dealer was busting an unbelievable % of the time. Unfortunately I busted with my crap hands quite a few times before the dealer busted. She kept busting with a 10 or A up.
