You're very loyal to your casino so how about an experiment to see how much they value you? Tell your host to speak to the appropriate manager and negotiate late surrender for you. It's been done by casinos in the past and will cost them nothing. You are the perfect candidate to request this.
Many people, especially ignorant people, want to punish you for speaking the truth. - Mahatma Ghandi

1st session of the day started out playing with 4 others at the table, including a guy who always tracks me down to play with me lol
Started out this session losing the first 8 of 11 hands and then exited the game...
session -1k
trip +1k
Proceeded to a new table playing one on one and lost the first 5 hands then made a nice run, including winning a couple of doubles I had no business winning but for variance
(i.e. doubled an 11 got an ace dealer had 2 showing with a 9 underneath and she pulled an Ace then a Queen)
Session +1100
Trip +2100
Took a mini-break then played another session
started out winning 3 hands in a row then had 100 up and got dealt a 3,3 against a 5
split and got another 3 so I split again
got a 6 on the first hand and doubled for a 17
Second 3 got a 5 and then hit for a 10 for an 18
the last 3 got an 8 and doubled for a 17
Dealer has a 5 turns over a 3 then a 4 then a 7 for a 19
YIKES there went 500
Shoe continued up and down until I had an Ace, 5 against dealer 4 with 200 up...I doubled and pulled the 5 for 21
Dealer turns over a 7 then 10 to push me
I leave the 200 up next hand and the dealer gets a blackjack
over the next shoe or so I got a few mini runs to capitalize on
Session +900
Trip +3k

Schadenfreude isn't rooting against anybody, it has nothing
with rooting one way or the other.

Well the definition is to take delight in others' misfortune so, if that is what you seek, how could you root for me?

Ace, you know that a word may have many definitions. It's why lawyers dissect written agreements.
Bob is sitting somewhere in front of a computer screen. You are in AC gambling.
I prefer this definition :
Brain-scanning studies show that schadenfreude is correlated with envy in subjects. Strong feelings of envy activated physical pain nodes in the brain's dorsal anterior cingulate cortex; the brain's reward centers, such as the ventral striatum, were activated by news that the people envied had suffered misfortune. The magnitude of the brain's schadenfreude response could even be predicted from the strength of the previous envy response.
The defense rests. Your witness !

But it's not specific, you're taking it way too personally.
Of course I want you to win, why wouldn't I. But if you
don't, well, I'm just sayin...

Wait, wait, wait...are you saying that if I go to AC and distract Ace for a sufficient period of time, Bob will wear a dress? Let me just head to the car...

Not sure if it matters, but just an FYI: Started pouring here in Philly a few minutes ago. Probably only a matter of time for the shore...
