so I wander over and run into a woman I always see playing and sometimes sit at the table and cheer her on...
she seemed to be in a chippy mood with me for some reason as she bought in for $300 worth of greens
she started out with a $25 hand and got dealt a blackjack...
she refused to fist pound her win (not x-rated people, we all know what fist pounding is)
she left her wager up there and won the next hand
she left her wager up and won the next hand
she proceeded to run through the shoe exactly like this, winning the first 10 hands of the shoe, then losing a hand, pushing a hand...
after each loss, she would run her bet back to $50 and then immediately press to table max as her win streaks continued
the dealer seemed shocked when he would bust every 12, meanwhile, she would get the cards she needed on
every 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 she had
it was liking watching blackjack in reverse (usually, it is the dealer making all their hands LOL)
at the end of the shoe she had accumulated ~15k
she took a break but then, about an hour later, I saw her in that same spot...
I was on my way up to bed so I did not stick around to see how she did but that one shoe was like nothing I'd ever seen before...
anyone else witness or experience a shoe like this...?
$300 into $15000 is a nice run and many people would stop when they got to $2000 rather than keep betting.
Quote: sodawateri've seen shoes with only 1 or 2 losing hands for a player out of the entire 4.5 decks dealt, but i never saw the player who was experiencing that run just parlay his bets up like that.

Yeah she had the guts to send it in!

I was training a guy in PaiGow Poker, giving him $100 and having him play so he could get a grip on the game. While playing, I told him about my QMGF betting system, and he started playing it.
After about 90min, the training got tiring so he started betting bigger, just trying to lose his BR so we could quit. Winner, winner, winner, guy just couldn’t lose. He neared the room’s win record, so he began trying again using my QMGF.
Once he took the highest winner ever spot, he again started betting like an ass just to lose his BR.
We finally quit some 4 hours later after we determined there was just no way for him to lose. He turned that $100 into $140,000.
Too bad no one’s got the balls and the luck to bet that big and catch a run like that =)

'Bout once a week.
Quote: aceofspadesOK so after the BJ tournament last weekend (which I was ousted from in the first round when I was all in with 25k in first round on the last hand and was dealt Ace 2 against a 9 -- I hit and was dealt a 7 for a 20 -- dealer has her 9, turn over 2, then 2, then 3 then, yes 5 for 21)

That's one heck of a run and why gamblers that lose a lot of money continue to play. It's the rush of that rare killer session.
I was working Graveyard about 4 years ago or so and came into work at about 2am I think. There was only 1 player playing and he had approximately $500 in front of him. He then proceeded to turn that $500 into over $22,000 over the next 4 hours. Never bought in again and just couldn't lose. Started with 1 hand of $100 and built up to 2 hands of $500 as his stack grew. Flat betting every hand $500 on 2 hands from there on out.
He eventually lost it back down to $21,000 and quit. What a night!

%1400, then went $50 each of 2 hands. Later they had to switch out cards, he had over $3,000 and was already late for going back to Baltimore. Babysitter had called twice. Made Ron cash out while he pleaded to stay. We were halfway out the exit when he made me an offer I could not refuse.
Would give me $100 to play with, need not repay him if I lost. I said only till we hit a hot shoe, he could not bet more than $50 an hand on 2 hands. Second shoe was all it took. Ron cashed out at $6200. Would have been $6300, but he ran away from me and bet a black chip on 1 hand before I dragged him to the cashiers cage.
Ron always had a fear of dying young. Called me and Josie when were had moved to Colorado. Said he had cancer, would start treatments, then wanted to treat us to Hawaii and max out his credit cards in Vegas. But he never left the hospital. Was dead a week later at age 34. SIGH !
