I forgot to check last week but I'm not surprised. Is that all the time now? Even at $10 or $15 dollar minimums?

Pre-breakfast session:
sat down, the cards were washed and shuffled and I proceeded to lose the first two hands, recuperated winning the next two, then more of the same for the next two shoes...
finally, in the 4th shoe, got a small small small positive count and ran it to +$500
so, for this trip, +$1500 (still need another $1,500 to get back what I put in last week)

As long as you are fresh and motivated, go for it. But %1500 is just a short term number. Do NOT fixate on it.

Picked up another $500 in half a shoe and then took a break for lunch - which actually ended up being a 3 hour nap as I still am a bit under the weather.

No longer even :-(
Sat down after dinner to play
up and down then lost a few hands to be down $500 BUT, the count went high based on those 5 hands lost in a row...
I put up $300 and was dealt 8,8 versus dealer upcard 5
split the 8's and dealt another 8
three 8's on the table at $300 each
dealt a 3 on the first hand double down got a K for a 20
dealt a 2 on the second hand double down go a 10 for a 20
dealt a 10 on the last hand for an 18
Dealer flips over a 6 for a dealer 11
dealer dealt a 3 for 14
dealer dealt an A for 15
dealer dealt an A for 16
dealer dealt YUP, you guessed it, a 5 for a 21
so, instead of being back to even I am now down $2k ($1,500 on that one hand)
You have got to be kidding me!

You'll make a comeback!
Just stop when you are +$100, take the slot pull, and then go back to BJ...just in case.

This is the exact reason why I HATE Blackjack. These multiple re-split, Double Down hands almost always end up losing to a Dealer's MIRACLE 21. Unfreakingbelievable!

Exactly...If you're playing with an advantage and are properly bankrolled...no reason to stop at any specific point...
FWIW: For me at vP, after a certain point my advantage goes DOWN (from 2% cashback it hits a certain "limit" then starts becoming less than 2%; that's when I quit)
