Man, it's been a brutal stretch here the first couple of months playing blackjack at Barona. I started off on a fairy large hot streak, ran sort of even for a little white, and then recently went on a massive downswing. Then just killed it last night. I had my largest ever win last night in terms of gross and net. I cashed out gross 63k. I cleared the rack of yellow (1k) chips and black. I forgot to take a picture though.
However, I made the most spectacular comeback ever last night. I was down to my last 1k, before I started winning, and never looked back before I quit and cashed out. During that streak, and I had about 5 or 6 amazing shoes. In one shoe, near the end, I had my max bet out there for 5 consecutive hands. I won 4 of them and lost one. Of the 4 hands I won, one was a double, and I hit two blackjacks as well. It is an amazing feeling, putting out a large bet, knowing that you have the advantage, and getting paid. Before I went on my amazing run, I had other big swings last night as well too. Easily, had 25k plus/minus swings in the manner of 30 minutes or less. Mr. Toad's wild ride indeed.
In other news, I got back from the Bay area, late Friday night. Got an opportunity to play some pokers at the Bay 101 on Thursday night and Friday evening before my flight home. Man, I am a huge (relatively speaking) lifetime loser at the Bay 101, so far. I am obviously not a regular there, as I only get up to the Bay area, once a month or so. But so far, in calendar year 2011 and the first part of this year, I am down over a cumulative 7K over 28 hours. I'm currently on a losing pace of 250/hr!
Ridiculous, and I am not sure why that is yet. Not sure if it's because I haven't adjusted to the players at the Bay 101, or they don't know me or what. In 10 sessions, I have booked just 2 wins, and 8 losses.
