I never lost faith =P. Great trip and report. I'm really glad it went well, so you got to site see, hang out with family, and pocket the cash! Well done.

You might want to quit your day job.

At least with BJ you aren't ordered by a judge or court rule to play without a reasonable chance of compensation.

I actually thought of that :) But somehow I do not think it would work out in the long term

I didn't but I am sure I could - I will look into it.
The Aria was pursuant to an offer so my host there really had nothing to do (the food/bev credit and room were all part of the offer)

I did wander down there and take a walk around, but I did not play. It was much nicer than I thought it would be.

Positive variance makes the argumentative side look much weaker.

Good run Ace, keep it going next trip!

What it does is, it makes you over confident
for the next trip where you drop $17K in the
first afternoon. If you stop now and never
play again, you will be doing good. We all
know what's in store if you don't. It's as
inevitable as the sun rising. Look at Kewlj,
he does it for a living and he is barely ahead
for the year in BJ. Goes with the territory.

We're conspicuously unaware of the exact outcome of the trip. Went from up a specific amount to 2 days of silence to just "up". I choose to assume that means that a $1 profit was attained:-)

I've stated numerous times herein that I was up a "dime" and that the trip ended plus "10"

Being up or down is meaningless SC or not, any legitimate speed count detractor knows that.

People have always given AOS a hard time about SC, win or lose( same thing with system players).

Everything got a bit stale after the wet blankets were thrown on from the last big AOS thread when he quit the forum. No one wants to say something and be the one to upset AOS (hes a likable guy)and have a repeat of last time. I realize he took a WOV break for a different reason, However, why take a chance?

I think the detractors really only wanted him to have a better chance to win more or lose less.

Most Members realize, if after his last trip he was still unwilling to advance his count, he probably won't, no matter what they say or the situation.

No problem, his money. Long as he is not rude to dealers because he is losing or whines when Speed count bombs. Not saying has done either or will in the future.

Just letting everyone know where I stand. And I might add, GO ACE GO !
