Sure a player could walk away a winner after playing several hours. :laugh: Several hours is very short term and in the short run almost anything can and does happen.
I am sure your point is that 18 is a long term losing hand, which most of us are well aware of. I forget what the average winning hand is. 18.6? or 18.3? Definately 18.something. lol I'm sure someone will have the exact number.
