Barrier Smashed!

Broke the 100k barrier last session. In fact I pummeled it. Had my biggest win in terms of both gross and net. Won 236 units in a little over 6 hours. Ship it baby!

I haven't really asked for much in the way of comps, either. I'm sure that my comp balance has ballooned to quite a large number. Any suggestions on what I should ask for?

Yuck!

Back to back horrid sessions.

100k Barrier!

I've played poker for a long time. I started back in 2002 playing limit holdem, and that's what I cut my teeth on. I now feel comfortable playing limit holdem up to the 100/200 level. One of the monuments of a limit holdem player is when they break the 100 big bet win in a session. In a 4/8 chip structured game 100 big bets is winning 8 racks of chips.

I almost broke the 100k barrier last night playing blackjack. Last hand of the night for me, since I had already decided to go home. Deck is positive, count is good, and I have my max bet out there.

I pick up two sevens, against a dealer upcard of a 5. I split, pick up a 3, double, get a 7, resplit, get an ace, double, 7, resplit, ace, double, 10. So 4 active hands, 3 with doubles, so basically 7 times my max bet. If I win this hand it's going to be a huge win.

Dealer opens, has a 3 under, binks an ace for 19, and all of my doubles blank off.

Sick Hand!

Count was extremely positive with a strong ace count, late in the shoe. I had my max bet out there, playing two hands.

First hand, I get two aces and split. Get another ace, split again, get a 4th ace and split again. Hands come out paint, paint, ace, paint. Can't resplit to more than 4 hands, so I have 21, 12, 21, 21 in that order.

Other hand I have ace-8. Dealer upcard is a 2. Dealer opens, has a total of 12 and binks a 9 for a 21!

Radio Check

Just curious, if I still have an audience out there. I know that I don't post too frequently, maybe couple times of month, but I am wondering if I am just wasting my time or if there are others out there who actually read this stuff.

So, if you are a regular reader, or just an occasional visitor, leave a comment indicating what part of the world, you are reading from.

Based on responses, I may decide to retire from this.

So Sexy!
