I read that there is only a 24% chance of winning 2 hands in a row while playing BJ. Winning more than 2 in a row is even worse odds. When i play BJ, i push 1/2 my winnings from first bet and keep 1/2. If i win that 2nd hand, then i go back to my original minimum bet. Example - Start with 2 green chips($50) then push 1 green chip and keep one. If i win 2nd hand in a row then i go back to minimum bet of 2 green chips($50) I don't win a ton of money, but i found i don't loose as much with this strategy and i last a lot longer at the casino with this conservative strategy. Is there any way of figuring out the math over a long term of using this strategy?

Add up your bets, and deduct the house edge. Altering an individual bet doesn't matter.
The older I get, the better I recall things that never happened

I like longer progressions, but I can't get behind betting too high because splitting and double downs at high bets can upset the gains from the previous wins in a row and dig a big hole in the session money. I'd save the higher bet progressions for single bet games like the Pass Line or Baccarat.
