Emptied a chip rack in 1/2 shoe

I've emptied a chip rack of orange at Caesars AC in half a shoe once (~110 of them). Pretty ridiculous shit - I was shaking like an epileptic on the way back to the room afterwards... adrenaline overload.

Wow, nice. Care to share details? I love a good war story :)

I also would like to hear this story; I've seen it done by a friend of mine who's a high roller (this past October at MGM Vegas) so I'm not doubting you. But would be very interested in the details if you recall them.

Wow, I hate to hear that!!!! What happened???

was on a 4 day run down in AC a few years back - where 3 out of every 4 tables, I'm moving on with 3-5x my buy-in - so my buy-ins get bigger...
I'm mostly a black chip player, sometimes go into purples, and rarely into orange, so getting into 10k/hand was fairly extreme on my part.
Up by over 60k by day 3, I'm getting fairly reckless as I hit and get by a few wild swings - a few -5k losses in a row, followed by a massive recovery all while roaming up and down the Boardwalk.
After the recovery (this was one of those -2,-3,-5,-6,-5,+30 kind of sweaters) I had to take a little breather.
Ended up running a little team-play hit-n-run blackjack experiment starting at Showboat and running all the way down to Bally's Grand. (the now closed ACH) bankrolling with 2.4k
Somehow that actually returned +10k over 8 tables, before the last table nuked it and the "team" split.
Back into Caesars, I start adding bac and paigow into the mix.
First time ever playing bac, I sit at the big bac table - mostly full, lots of orange and gray on the table - I throw out 5k on player (and not the biggest better) - someone else gets the cards, pinches and bends the hell out of them - player natural 9.
Next hand - again, 5k out player, and player gets it - after another pinchfest.
So I go to max. 10k player - to get the cards and flip them pinchfree. :p - in the middle of a 5 in a row run and then walk after dropping 10 when it flips back to banker.
Now I'm on a super-rush - +30 from a few hands of bac... and 5 first bet, 10 press is my new "normal"
And this is how the emptying the chip rack of orange happens - had a few up/down/up/down swings to follow, but it's just as simple as going from 40 to 150 at 10 a hand...
There wasn't really anything weird about it - no really challenging hands, no doubles, splits to think about. pretty much every hand was a pat one and dealers just kept falling short - and it ended up being a nice run.
After that - I just started screwing around with low-ish bets at all kinds of games and messed around a bit with some high limit slots.

Very nice. Have you been building your bankroll all your life, or have you always been a black chip player?

mostly greens earlier - but had a few good runs that made stepping it up possible. also have a solid day job that helps fund the antics.
clearly was way out of the safety range cranking up the table max bets - the usual trip was bringing 3-5k, with the goal of grinding out another brick.
