Aces's winter getaway

Well back in Vegas escaping the Polar Vortex that has been NY.
Checked in to the Skysuites and the rooms and service are amazing. The rooms are tastefully decorated and there is a 7am til 10pm snack area, wine and cheese between 4 and 5pm every afternoon and free bottles of soda and Pellegrino available 24/7.
I sat down to play my first shoe before dinner at a 2D table:
The cards came out wild and free--giving me a nice foothold before dinner of +1k
However, after dinner, I sat down for a 6D game:
Lost the first 5 hands...Bob would have loved it as I had 18's and 19's each hand.
I managed to win a couple of hands but the dealer wound up with 5 blackjacks in the shoe.
By the end of this shoe I had lost 500 of the 1k I was winning.
After the shuffle came a dealer change and the new dealer began abusing me as well...
She started with a blackjack
I then was dealt 8,8 versus her 5
Split the 8's
First 8 dealt a 6 for 14
Second 8 dealt an Ace for 19
She had a 5, turned over a 9, then a 2, then a 4 for 20
Ughhhhh!
By the end of the shoe, I had lost the other 500 I was still up and was now even for the trip
I took a break and eventually ventured outside the high limit room to a 2D game on the main floor
I was +/- 500 for about an hour at this table but then things took a turn for the worse
I had 3 doubles in 6 hands and lost each of them in a painful way
First double:
8,3 versus dealer 10
doubled and dealt an 8 for 19
of course, the dealer had a Queen under for 20
the second double was 7,3 versus dealer 6
I was dealt a King for 20
Dealer had 6, turned over a 4, then an Ace
Ughhhh
the last double was a 7,2 versus a dealer 3
I was dealt a 2 for 11
dealer had 3, turned over 8 then dealt 10 for 21
by the end of the session I was down 2k beyond the 1k I wa up
I regrouped and went back into the high limit room and played a 6D game
things went much better in here as I actually won 3 doubles in teh first shoe, bringing me 500 back
the roller coaster continued for 2 more shoes until I had regained another 500
As it stands now, as I ready myself for bed, I am negative 1k
Trip is -1k

wow, aria's suites look sick. Are these benefits of playing their blackjack tables?
oh, and sick double down loss stories.
Why did ace go from 2D to 6D and lose his money?

Ace, did you pack your suitcase full of cold weather and bring it with you? It is an artic 46 degrees at 7:30 am and today's high is only going to be 61 degrees. Burrrr! That is 15 degrees COLDER than it has been. I am not sure I can wear shorts today. :-(

With all due respect, given the miserable winter much of the rest of the country has seen, 61 degrees is downright balmy.

Nice report, don't you just hate it when the dealer always gets just one point over you - I am not bothered when I have 17 and she hits 21, but get really pissed when I double and make my 20 and then she makes 21 from 6... !?
Last night I went and played, lost my start up money on the first shoe - unbelievable run of cards, I am not having much luck this past few weeks. But then went away and came back an hour later, saw 4 people playing, only one was almost following the basic strategy, the other 3 were making mistakes you couldn't believe. One of them was an old German guy, I noticed he was actually persistent with never hitting stiff hands of 12 and over. I got curious and noticed he was actually winning, always playing the minimum bet too.
So I asked him if he knows that usually it is better to get a card for 12 against the dealer 10 for example. He said "I never want to bust, let the dealer bust, I worked in the casinos for 40 years as dealer and manager and always played BJ this way and I win more than I loose". Right there last night I watched him for an hour winning hands after hands while the dealer was busting most of her hands - amazing, this was the same table where dealer was making almost every hand an hour before... !? Yeh, it's just luck ! (I guess it messed up whatever trick the dealer was doing to beat me playing persistent basic strategy....)
(Sorry to hijack your thread....just wanted to share your pain in being negative last night....)

Ace,
Tell me you're rocking the Skylofts. My brother and fiancee did a weekend in September in one with a high-roller couple friend and they were truly blown away by almost everything (I've never been). I think the 4 people standing there ready to do whatever whenever was the biggest trip, along with the personal butler.

So I played early this morning...
Sat fown to a 6D game and proceeded to experience a good old-fashioned 'ass whoopin'
Like Aruzin, I consistently lost by one point on most of the hands...although the nattily dressed asian guy at the 2D table was interesting to watch peripherally...that is, until I left the 6D game and went to sit on the 2D and he proclaimed he wanted to play alone...I asked if it was reserved and it was not but I declined and went to another 6D game down 1600 from the first session plus the 1k from last night...
The Korean dealer was standoffish then she noticed my tattoos and saw I was frustrated and she began joking with me and telling me to think positively...the SC got good and within a shoe I got the 1600 back
Time for breakfast
Trip still -1k

SO...I JUST WROTE A LONG POST ABOUT MY DAY AND THE IPAD FROZE AND I LOST IT ALL...
I will attempt to relay the events of the day once again...
I woke up and bought in at a 2D game for 2k...
Things were not good in this session...I had plenty of double downs but nothing to show for it as I was consistently dealt nada on my doubles
Meanwhile, even when I Was dealt a 19 or 21, the dealer found a way to pull a 20 or 21...
After about 30 mins, I had lost the 2k
Trip was now down 3k
Bought in for another 2k at a 6D shoe game and was treated similarly...Within one shoe I had lost another 1k
At this point, I was approaching full tilt...
I took my remaining 1k and headed to another 2D game...
Over the course of the next 4 hours (which flew by), I had the roller coaster ride of the year...
The 1k lasted through the 4 hours...there were about 10 times that I was on my last chip and somehow kept fighting for air and staying alive...
At the end of the 4 hours I had won back 500
Trip is now -3500

first 2 then dealt a 9...doubled and dealt a 5 for a 16
Second 2 dealt a 10...hit and dealt a 5 for 17

Dealer has 7...turns over a 4...takes a 5...then...BOOM...another 5 for 21
A 1k swing
However...in the third shuffle the SC got good and I was able to recover and actually win a few "chippies" for nyself...

I know I rag on you for being a lawyer but I hope you win ace. I always used to enjoy the look on a pit bosses face when I am down to one chip and crawl back to 30 or 40 chips when I color up. They go from hidden smiles when you are about to bust, to horror as you shove stacks upon stacks of black chips to get a couple yellows. Give em hell!

I was up 300 and then split 9.9 v dealer 7
First 9 am dealt a 10
Second 9 am dealt a 10
Dealer has 7 turns over a 4...then a 3...then a 7
Yuck!
However, all was not lost as I hit for 2 subsequent blackjacks and ended the shoe getting another 500 back

Why did you split the 9's against a 7? Is that a card counting thing? (I'm just a basic strategy player). Just curious, don't wanna sound like I'm criticising.
I enjoy your trip reports. They remind me of my trips when I go (only I don't bet as big as you, you can always find me at a $10 table at the Bellagio). I could play blackjack all day long.

I don't know if Ace counts or not (I'm pretty new here), but if you are counting cards then splitting 9's against a 7 is sometimes correct. Specifically it's correct at a true count of +3 in hi-lo. It's not a very common play to know though.

I hesitate to comment because ace is not new to this and he is well aware of his options. Here goes anyway. K-O Rookie is as easy to learn as Speed Count, can be used with real indices and is twice as powerful.

Yeah I have nothing against the speed count. I'm on board with ace's goals (have fun while playing with a small edge) and strategy to reach said goals. I'm just curious about these specialty indices he is using, because it sounds dangerous.

Ace,
I always enjoy reading your trip reports, thanks for sharing with all of us. I'm a relatively new around here and was wondering are you talking about units or dollars when you are talking about win loss. Also were the skysuites comped to you? If so how much is a typical buy in for you, per session and do you have a certain stop loss? If that's too private I understand. Again I appreciate the reports.
Note: I may have accidentally flagged his post. My apologies, as I am on my cellular device and mistapped.

Ok saw Zarkana and it was excellent...the music (played live) added tremendously to the show and the acrobatics were phenomenal...there was a lady who used sand to draw--WOW!
So after Zarkana and dinner I played a 2 shuffle 2D session and had won a quick 300
...however, then had 150 bet and had a double 9 versus 3...I drew a 10 for 19...unfortunatel the cards did not cooperate at the dealer turned over a 6 then and Ace for 20
Things got better as the SC got better and in the next shuffle I had won 400
At this point, the trip was -500
I went and watched some craps ( I am pretty much clueless but everyone seemed to be having a good time )
As my goal was to begin Saturday anew at even steven, I ventured back to a 2D game on the main floor as the tables in the high limit room room were now bumped up to 300min...
As I bought in, I noticed someone across the pit out of the corner of my eye...yes, ladies and gentlemen :drum roll:
The Lady in Red
(She was in purple this evening)
I thought of EvenBob and wondered if I should attempt to reach my goal...I pressed on
Within one shuffle of the 2D game I had achieved my goal plus 100
Trip is +100

Yes! Go, ace! It's a new day!
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

You know I'm thinking the free bar you're looking for might exist on a top floor. It's most likely just a high tier lounge by secret invitation. This is just an educated guess, but look on the 11th floor. If it's not there, it could be anywhere. Get into the service elevator and stay there following any bartenders.

Morning session
6D
Began playing and won the first three hands then a guy bought in and began playing...lost a couple in a row and then he sat out a hand then he came back in...
By the end of the shoe I had actually won my doubles and was ahead...
Trip is +1200
