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.
