Sorry I haven't been reporting in, but I just got back from Atlantic City. Blackjack is such an exciting game to play. You just never know what is going to happen. Monday I played a couple of hours and won $400. Yesterday, I played 17 hours (5 sessions) and lost $900. Today I played an hour and a half and won $1,500 in two short sessions (one hour/$500 and half an hour/$1,000). Unfortunately, I lost $800 over the course of three days playing Deuces Wild video poker, so I only managed to net $200. Add to that about $300 in comps and that's not so bad. I wonder if I should kiss VP goodbye? I did win a $500 pull (4 deuces with an ace) on a quarter machine, but I guess I got a little ambitious playing the $5 machine.
lol I guess I've done pretty well getting the "gamble" out of my blackjack, but not so good getting the gamble out of my life. Oh, well! Back to the drawing board. I guess some who accused me of being a compulsive gambler back in the early days of my counting career may have been right--I just couldn't recognize it at the time. Well, that's life--there's always something new to work on.
