Switch Hobbies?

I dunno, I am killing blackjack in San Diego County here recently. I haven't actually played any poker since April 13th. I have however killed blackjack at Barona and Pala here recently.

I prefer playing at Barona, because they have a much better double-deck game. A survey was done by the Wizard of Odds surveying the San Diego blackjack scene a couple of years ago. The double deck game at Barona offers resplitting aces and late surrender, while the double deck game at Pala does not. The resplitting aces does not really account for much, but the late surrender is a big deal. Even still you can find a better game in Vegas.

I went to Pala last night, because they were celebrating their 10th anniversary and were giving away a $100,000 in free drawings. No I didn't win any drawings, but I did pick up 6.4k playing their double deck game.

Everytime I think I'm killing a game and contemplate focusing solely on that game, variance swings to the other side and reminds me that, if you are beating the game for more than you statistically should, you will lose more than you statistically should soon enough!
