What should I do

So I'm headed back to AC the day after christmas looking for some extra luck. I've been practicing with 8d, S17, DOA, 75%pen. and using a $5,000 BR and have seen success with the system I am using.

Now comes the dilemma of whether or not I can really stand to lose a lot of that $5,000 due to a bad run. I thought I would just backcount and wait till the count hits +2 to try and step in...maybe using a 1:5 spread and being a lot more conservative. I will be playing with the advantage no matter what so I don't see it being a problem.

In practice sessions at home I would wong out during negative counts and use the 1:10 spread, $10 units.

Any words of wisdom before I head out would be helpful even though it's on me.
 
Theres an old adage- Scared money never wins.If you play with protecting your BR as your main objective,you might as well stay home.

If i was you in your situation with the idea of not being able to lose the 5000 than I would simply not play. Why not take 1000 with you so you have 10 big bets using wonging betting black when ever the Advantage rolls over 1 percent. You could use 2 bets of 50 at two spots and parley when you win it.
That way it is not to obvious. Have a beer in your hand and be loud and act drunk. Losing 10 BB than you end your session. I use this always as a protecter being on tilt. I say this because you seems to gamble with money what you an affort to lose. Fear causes you to act differently and that can not be generating a good gameplan.

Just an update...When I first arrived, I waited for the right time to step in at a +2 count and played the hands a little conservative. I realized I didn't practice hour after hour to only be scared when it actually mattered so I decided to keep my spreads as I should. Also, my deck estimation practice really helped out...I found it to be 10 times easier than the last time I went there and could easily convert to TC. Also I would wong out at anything negative after a loss.

I walked around for a bit until I found another semi decent count to step in on. The dealer was really friendly and I could see that she was a bit clumsy. A bit slow, but she paid off one of my losses of 18 to her 19.

One of the dumbest things I did that day was step into her table head to head with about 4 decks to play and not know the count. Got beat for about $125 just trying to end the shoe so I could try to play her one on one. Decided that was a no good idea and wonged into a good count later, kept with my spreads as I should have, and ended up breaking even for the day.

The reason for going was more of just testing the waters and seeing if I could make the correct plays without struggling. I know now that all the practice payed off because it was farely easy and I'm awaiting my next trip.

Yea I won't make that mistake again. I figured it wouldn't matter if I just went in to play a few rounds and try and start a fresh shoe. Never would have thought that I would lose that many in a row and drop a hundo.
