Well, when your batting average is so high you figure you can get yourself out of any hole anytime. Until you can't. And that's one of the ways they get you!

I noticed that this week. I think it's worse northbound than southbound, in part because I am convinced the one lane closed on Harmon caused a lot of "blocking the box" on the Strip northbound just south of Planet Hollywood.

Speaking of deceptive packaging, this facial cream comes in a hefty 3 x 3 x 3" box.
Even out of the box, the size denotes a lot of volume in that 2 1/2" diameter jar.
But...peel back the seal and there is a small plastic container inserted into the jar
which let's you know what's really going on.
True, the label states clearly 1.7 fl oz (50 ml) but packaging size volume projects something different. Mr. Bader is probably doing well.

Both Day 16 and 17 sessions were particularly bad. Day 16 I actually got ahead in two separate sessions about +15K and then dumped 11K of it, then in one shoe lost all that plus about forty more.
Day 17, I carefully got about +45K ahead and then in - really - maybe three or four hands lost it all. But at least I didn't end up in the red that day.
Most trips do have a turn where things start going south, and this one is no exception. The best thing to do when that happens is just lay off for a bit, to shake off any "chasing" mindset.

This happened to a friend of mine. Friend was playing a non private Baccarat table with a couple hundred thousand in chips on display. Table minimum 1000.
This guy came up with a scant amount of chips, just a couple thousand, and started playing, but was more interested in engaging my friend. Claimed to be a high stakes poker player named "Lucky" and showed off some YouTube video of him playing against Garrett Adelstein, as way of proof that he was big time and had won hundreds of thousands.
I am not sure if this is the same video, but here is one with this "Lucky" player:
The Lucky guy claimed that he had won $1.1M recently in poker, and was trying to engage my friend into "meeting him at Aria with 50K" to play some poker. My friend just ignored him, the guy lost his two thousand and scurried off after a loud expletive, not really acting like someone who had a million in reserve, more like someone who had just lost his last two grand.
When I first heard the story I assumed it was just some no-name hustler who looked like the real Lucky, trying to hustle some chips off a high roller. And indeed later I found out from a different high roller acquaintance that this guy had borrowed $3000. off him and never paid it back, similar story at the tables. Supposedly the guy has been warned by the casino but is not yet 86'ed.
Further research, and maybe this guy really was Lucky, whose real name is Lenard Adams,
with as far as lifetime live winnings, the Hendon database showing just under $100K for this guy,
https://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/player.php?a=r&n=282094
and who is a known scammer
Lenard Adams “Lucky” is a scammer
What’s going on guys. I was the recent victim of a scam committed by Lenard Adams for 7k cash. I’m a young kid in the poker world, and believed all the lies he told me. Met him playing poker and he pulled me aside to talk about something in private. He said he liked the way I played and that he had a private game at aria the next night. The stakes were said to be 1/2/4K 4 handed with me, Lenard, and 2 other whales. He would stake me and we would split the profits. Yes I know, I’m stupid and I should have known this to be to good to be true. That afternoon we went to play in the pits and I had seen him with absolute piles of cash. He ran out at the table but I knew he had more money in his room. He asked me for 7k and I obliged. It happened so quick but soon enough it was gone, he ran off. My number and Instagram were immediately blocked.
Don’t fall for this guy! He’s a known scammer in the high stakes world and actually a dangerous guy with a criminal record!
'Sweetheart Swindler' charged with rape, kidnapping, police say
Man pleads guilty to swindling 4 women in 'sweetheart' scams
I guess his most recent scam is to try to meet players he observes with stacks of chips, at Aria on the pretense of a poker game, and then somehow rip them off for chips. But at the same time he does continue to play poker wherever he's not banned. And Baccarat to try to find new victims.

It sounds like the other two whales were confederates. Lenard shows the mark that he has boatloads of cash, then dumps off his stack to his confederates. The mark knows Lenard can afford to pay back $7K out of his cash pile, so he loans him $7K with the other two as witnesses. Then Lenard dumps off the $7K and leaves the table.Quote: MDawg

It is easy to understand it after the scam goes down, but in real time, everything looks up and up. The con artists have practiced every move and they always have an answer for every doubt you can raise.

That's probably a good estimation. I was wondering where/how the con man got hold of the "piles of cash" the poker kid who was scammed saw, especially in light of how he acted according to the person I know like the two grand he lost at the Baccarat table was blood money.

I don't really like this sort of thing, where the sessions range from +26500 to -41000, when that sort of thing starts happening I'm trying too hard, and it's usually time to wrap it up.
It's definitely hard to walk away with a small win or loss when start getting too into it.

Well that's true, no way to turn back the clock after a losing session. But, sessions or days when you were ahead and ended up losing are the ones that are truly bothersome. For me these amount to the sessions where the advantage hands didn't work out a planned. Sure, over time, it works out but who wants to deal with the ups and downs when you don't need to play at all?

I agree that it is so more difficult psychologically to deal with giving back all of a big win than having a bad losing session that comes back to break even. I had the latter kind of session recently where I had a huge loss and then a huge comeback. I had already resigned myself to a huge loss, then my luck turned. I just try to keep an even keel.Quote: MDawgWell that's true, no way to turn back the clock after a losing session.

It is hard to dispense advice to any gambler about handling swings without knowing their personality. Many gamblers are prone to going on tilt. In my experience, this includes a lot of APs. A loss that triggers a tilt can be very destructive and have long lasting effects. I am pretty immune to tilting and I don't ever play just to play. I have walked out of casinos hundreds of times without playing a single dollar. There is always another AP play down the road.
I also used to stress a lot about losing poker sessions. You never really know if you are playing +EV at poker. You may be at a table with the wrong opponents or you may not be playing your best. If you lose, you can rarely assure yourself that you were playing your best.
What really used to stress me out was cash management in B&M casinos. I have plenty of liquid assets, but if I am playing alone at 2am, it might be hard to tap into the cash. For example, the credit line may be expired or never created at that particular property. I have been sitting at a casino with $5K in my pocket and a $10K credit line and thinking, damn, I am not sure that I have enough available bankroll. Tapping out on a good play is a big EV killer.
On the other hand, getting cash at online casinos is simple, and there is no security reason not to keep large balances online just in case a big play comes up.
I am currently on my worst losing streak of my career. I don't even spend much time thinking about it. I will just dig myself out of the hole by keeping doing what I am doing. Unlike EB, I lose money in most sessions. But, I generally know exactly what my edge is and I have a pretty good handle on the variance. Losing doesn't bother me much any more.

The tilt thing.
When I'm going along and ahead some or not behind much, when the advantage hand or hands come along, I put down a certain amount. However, if I've been losing those hands, and others, and am down a fair amount, I might have a tendency to pile a lot more on those hands where I should win. But, obviously it doesn't always work out. And that's one way that big losing sessions come about.
At the same time though, if I'm way head and that advantage hand comes along, I might feel like just piling a ton on that hand, because worst case scenario, I go back to even. Of course, if that hand is lost, that's the moment where it's important to just go back to the usual play and not want to get back ahead the same amount right away.
Ideally, should just play like a robot and put down the same amount relative to regular hands on advantage hands, that is put the same amount more relative to the advantage, but there are a lot of factors at play, including what the low bets have been, what the table max is, and what the bankroll is.

I think over all it comes back to what I mentioned a year or so ago, which was that looking back to when I returned to casino play at the end of 2018, my intention was just to play for fun, keep my head above water, and enjoy the comps. The average bets progressed, but at least, I didn't have any serious ups and downs for a good 2 1/2 years. But starting during that reallly long Vegas trip in 2021, the big swings started happening along with the special limit bets at private tables, and since then, I haven't really been able to U-Turn, at least not for long, and go back to playing small. I don't find the swings fun, and the big swings are inevitable when swinging so hard.
Now, watching regular players who don't even have an advantage, really big players, I have observed a progression. They seem to win actually, pretty consistently for some years, and then start losing a lot, then have some sort of massive run that practically (but not quite) brings them back to even. They still don't stop, and eventually end up even more down than before their big "final" runup. It's just a movie, but more or less a progression like in Owning Mahowny. That Mahowny progression isn't all that uncommon in some casino players. But, some of these big players bring in enough through their businesses so that no matter how much they lose in the casino, they're just always back for more action.
It is interesting to see these same faces in the high limit salons every trip, however. It must be the norm, because if I'm not seen in any one of the casinos at which I play, for even just a few months, the high limit dealers express surprise and ask where I have been.

Day 23 play.
DD Blackjack.
Took hours and hours and was ahead and back to even at least twice. There were periods when the count was ho hum but I was winning every hand (and not betting much). And then when I jammed the bet up there to the plus count sometimes I’d make it sometimes not.

This was an interesting session. Occurred over the past year, not necessarily during the current trip. I reported it, but not all the details. I didn't want to report it too close to when it happened because I felt like the incident was memorable enough to stick in who knows whose craw for a while.
I played at a casino where I have not played in a very long time. I have a player card there, but no credit line.
I bought in for $35,000. DD Blackjack. 3:2. Regular table. Decent rules.
My min bet was 100, max 5000. I played in that range. I jammed the bet whenever the count was high enough and my total recall of every card played and the sequence of the most recent cards out, told me to jam it up there.
I was playing alone at times, with up to three other players at times.
Eventually, I declared that I was going to take every single (500) chip from the dealer's tray, and wasn't going to stop until I had them all. I wasn't collecting any 1000s, pretty much just 100s and 500s.
It took a very long time, something like ten hours of almost straight play. And there was a lot of back and forth, but eventually, with the final hand being a 5000 one I did it. Now, at this particular casino, every single (500) in the tray wasn't a fortune. But it was a lot. This wasn't one of the majors.
But what's funny is that afterwards, I ran into one of the players who had been at my table, who was surprised that I hadn't cleared many times what I cleared, as in emptied out at least all the 1000 and many of 5000 chips too, because this player mentioned that if I had played flat out there were long periods when I was winning every single hand. But, I didn't look at it that way, I was pressing only when I saw the edge.
But still, to go into a casino, declare a lofty goal, and meet it...pretty nice.
It doesn't always work out that way, or even close. But this time, it did.

If there were 60 x 2 purple chips in the tray, that'd be $60K.

Yes, that's about right. As far as the net win, because there was a fill at one point that covered my buy in. After the first tray emptied though for some reason they did not reload again, and the emptying of the second tray happened much faster than the first.
More than one dealer was trying to give me yellows, but I kept saying, No - color for color.

purples are only $500 at the shady Seneca casinos in the Buffalo area. Keep up the good work and being an example for others to strive and attain greatness like you. Lay off the shellfish other than once a week. Eat more chicken and steak. Drink more vodka after big wins...

500s are purple at most casinos.
I have eaten more chicken and fish, no steak in some months. Perhaps too much shellfish. 😃
I didn't use any of the drawn butter though.

Don't try to go north on the Strip right now - gridlock. Even without the stalled Prius taxicab it narrows down to one line as you approach Venetian, which pretty much backs it up all the way from at least Cosmo / Planet Hollywood.

Day 23 play.
DD Blackjack.
I kept getting low cards on my 10/11 double downs - no matter what the count is, when that keeps happening, things don't work out! Sort of like...if you keep getting 12s and 16s all night, you're not going to win no matter what.

Been getting in some hiking too even in this heat.
About a week ago, Red Rock Canyon
was about 93 degrees when Vegas was about 100. Not too bad, dry hot wind.
Today, with Vegas 118, Mt. Charleston no more than 93, less, in some spots, and with a cool breeze and in the shade, rather nice actually.

Lanes on the Strip have been running smoothly past few days. As they get closer to Formula 1 you still see a lot of construction though.

It must be superior acting skills.Or maybe he’s not betting with the count he is following the flow.
