Let it all hangout baby!
I'm headed to Reno as usual (in about 3 hours).
I've got $400 of freeplay to pickup/suckout.
Stay disciplined and remember, you're only ~$2250 in to them now!

the $100 dollar pull is worth about $95.
a hand of BJ is worth about $99.35 just playing basic.

He has no choice but to pull, it's slots freeplay.
$100 technically should offer the best ER.

That is patently untrue!!! I would do no such thing.
I was encouraging him to risk his winnings from the slots freeplay he had last week. He decided to turn that into BJ money, not the other way around. It was, is and always will be $1,024 won on the slot machine.
And WHEN he fails to use his freeplay for a $100 pull, and I encourage him to bet $100 of monies gained from the $522 he has won on freeplay already, those will also be his slot winnings.

Very good, but its early in the trip. The test is,
will you quit while you're ahead or believe
your luck can last all weekend. I always
considered it bad mojo to win a lot early on
because it gives you a false sense of confidence.

I'm headed over to the Borgata tommorrow, going to work through 400 matchplay, and then probably color in some chips over at Revel in Ultra Lounge that evening. Duknow if you do evening play or not, but I more than likely will.

Blackjack update session #2:
Sat down with the same dealer I won't the $1k with earlier - the winning definitely ceased IMMEDIATELY and I lost $1k back in 3/4 of a shoe (7 blackjacks for the dealer and only one for me) - switched tables, lost $500 on 5 hands and left the table
deep breaths, begin playing with a super friendly dealer, an older asian gentleman named kevin who was easily distracted by the short skirts walking by (which we teased him about and he was certainly in on the laughter) - won $500 back from him - then Katie came in and did not appreciate my perverted, sarcastic sense of humor - although she did give me $200 over the 2 shoes she was there for as relief - upon big Kevin's return, I won back another $300
so, total for this trip is still positive:
+$1,000

Blackjack update #3
PLayed in the Revel Ultralounge area (although I was unable to play in there last night as they had 1/2 of the tables with "RESERVED" sign on them - which stayed empty for at least 3 hours)
Started off pretty good - won three hands in a row then, the dealer had his turn, winning 5 in row, it was pretty much back and forth like that for 4 shoes - then, in shoe number five, I started off with e 20 against dealer 10 - dealer flips over an ACE (damn) - next hand I had a 19 , dealer had 3 showing, turns over 10 for 13, flips himself an 8- uh oh - this shoe is getting bad fast - next hand I had a 17 (ughhhh) - dealer has 2 showing, flips over a 3, deals himself a 4, then a 2, then a 2, then a 3, then a 5 (21 AGAIN) - but, the count (although only a few hands in - was nice) - I doubled my bet to $200 and proceed to win the next 6 hands - getting back to where I started when I sat down
total for trip so far:
still +$1,000

At the 100 dollar level his spread isn't enough to beat the game, especially with Atlantic City rules. He is playing for the variance, as you can tell from his detailed short run analysis. Bob is right, emotion can have a great effect on your trip. That being said it sounds like Spades is doing well.

Yeah - I am counting but not spreading to big (I know scared money don't make money) but, you have to admit that being a bit scared is good for me at Revel
I am about to play in Revel's first ever invitational Digi-blackjack tournament ($10k to the winner and then I think the top 10 finishers get paid as well), then, dinner with my parents who are in AC as well at another hotel, then ye olde blackjack tables again!!!

Blackjack tournament 1st round:
Ok I did not know how to play the digital blackjack - you still do hand signals and a dealer presses a button- i had $16800 going into last hand and they finally announced what others at table had since we couldnt really read one anothers ipad type screens - so my only competition had $17700 and he bet $2500 - i bet $3500 so if we both won I would win by $100 - hoowever he then bet more - I asked the pit boss if we couldchange our bets after the button and he surprisingly said yes - so I went ALL IN - dealt a soft 18 versus dealer face card - I hit an got the 3
Bam 21 for Ace
dealer has 20
Ace wins the table
Ace moves into semi-finals at 4pm

If you're just a part time player and not doing it every day
for a living, luck is a big part of it. You never know where
the variance roller coaster is when you plug into it and
you're much better off quitting when ahead if its the day
before you leave or so. That last day has sunk many a ship.

From other posts, I believe aceofspades has a $10k bankroll, uses the Speed Count and spreads 1-3 black with an occasional $500 bet.
I have never heard of a card counter posting up to the minute hand by hand results of their play as well as their strategy. Revel executives must enjoy reading his posts as much as I do.
