Looks like a pretty healthy graph to me Froggy.
I remember that the red line represents your first involvement with the bash and things certainly went north for you after that. (except the days immediately following when there was a bit of a dip due to hangover/recovery reasons :laugh
My question is did all other aspects of your game, like bet spreads and quality of games remain constant or did some things change at that point as you learned new AP methods and techniques?
right, right.....
far as blackjack game aspects, for the most part i'm stuck with the same crappy games with poor pen locally:

i still only just have a 1:8 spread
sometimes with travel i can find better games, but even then my nerve fails me far as initiating a larger spread, even though my bankroll can now better support a higher spread.
for me, as far as things changing relative to bj stuff after having learned new AP stuff and having exchanged notes with other AP's, the thing that's changed for me has been philosophical, sort of.
like now i look at things on a play by play basis, whereas before how i looked at bj stuff was just sort of jumbled up, just i knew how to properly play bj sorta thing and went out and tried to do it. now it's more of an assault, a hunt, stalk the prey down and pounce, with definite
range of results in mind sorta thing, lol. and far as bj, i tend to now use it as a stop gap sorta measure, a filler if you will, as the other AP stuff tends to have a lot of dead time and that time may be better spent giving bj a shot, sorta thing.
edit: errh just for the record the red line wasn't first involvement with the bash, there had been many other bash's before that red line bash. the red line bash represented learning some new AP stuff besides bj stuff.
