Trying to get a little back at a time before LV
LET'S DO THIS!!!
Hey, why stop @ +3750? I say keep winning til you own the Revel! :)
Quote: Joeman...Hey, why stop @ +3750? I say keep winning til you own the Revel! :)
Doesn't $100 and a smack on the ass get you the keys to Revel now days?
Ace, best of luck tonight! Stay sharp, stay hydrated, hit 'em hard and take no prisoners! Don't focus on how many in a row you're losing... Just move from hand to hand and worry about how many/much this/that after the shootin's done. Eagerly be awaiting the action... Good variance!
In proving foresight may be vain;
The best-laid schemes o' mice an' men
Gang aft agley,
And lea'e us nought but grief an' pain
For promised joy!
Still thou art blest, compar'd wi' me
The present only toucheth thee:
But, Och! I backward cast my e'e.
On prospects drear!
An' forward, tho' I canna see,
I guess an' fear!
Just got back from AC and had an decent trip. Of note (for you ACE), is one particular shoe I lost the first 11 hands! I stayed calm, played my game, and by the end of the shoe I was down just 1/2 a unit. Went on to have a nice win during that session.

Wow glad you ended up making a comeback
losing 11 in a row -- I hear the pitter-patter of the mathletes running this way to tell you it didn't happen

oh come on, 11 is possible as long as it was on 1 table.
goood luck on the trip. Do me a favor, head on over to Ramseys new restaurant in Caesars and let me know if the Beef Wellington is worth a trip.
All the luck! I know you have a host but Ralph D. my host there will buy you dinner at Grotto and consider it me buying it! LOL, power of the comp. He guaranteed me tix to Bennett and Gaga concert in July as I text you about. So we are set. AC in late July, think it will be humid?
GOOD LUCK!

A reasonable person reading this could get the idea that you are being threatened or harassed by being told that you better not post. Is that the case? Did someone on this site actually tell you that? I hope not. Can you please elaborate?
I, of course, was treated quite the opposite - losing 2300 in the shoe and, I was so annoyed that on the last hand of the shoe I was dealt an Ace, 6 v dealer Q -- I hit and got an Ace for 18 -- then, as if I was in an out of body experience--I saw myself waving off a hit and, of course, lost
Since it was the last hand I asked to see the next card and it was a 3
FML
So, after being down 2800 I am now only down 500
Taking a break
Quote: aceofspadesGo a nice nice run and was 100 from being even on the trip on 3 occasions - of course, as usually happens, I get a double and lose then lose a few in a row after that
So, after being down 2800 I am now only down 500
Taking a break
Oh the fun start to a trip. Being a 'mathlete' you won't find me scrambling about losing X hands in a row. I pretty much start every session with at least 5-10 losses in a row within the first 30 min of play or so...
Keep breathing and keep calm. If you get to a point where you're not paying correct basic strategy you should definitely take a break. When my partner and I experienced our first big loss he looked at me when he had an A-6 V dealer 10 as to ask me what to do... I said "If you have to ask, get off the table."
Fun thing about getting smashed at the tables, even if your EV is slightly negative in blackjack, you shouldn't be "that" negative... so in the long run it WILL balance out =).

That ain't the kind of blow you need.
Dial in a hooker (or better yet, bring a date) and get your tubes cleaned out.
Then attack the tables.
Not for nothing do sex and gambling go together.

Been quite some time now - over a year
Relaxed a bit watching Shark Tank in the room then headed down to the floor
It is packed here - noticed a whole bunch of new employees all formerly from the Revel
Also watched a roulette game where 6 of the last 10 spins were all "9"
I sat down to play and hit the ground running
I played one shoe, was dealt 3 naturals...but no doubles or splits
However, they weren't necessary as I made my way to the positive side of the ledger
Trip is +1650

I heard. just spent 30min's on the phone with Ralph, one of the v.p.'s of marketing. he said they took most of the higher line players from taj and a lot of the Trop's as well. gave me the spiel about how nice their suites are there at the g.n. and the pool, cabanas and they have the fire pits, etc. he just confirmed the tix my wife wanted for the concert at the Borgata. so I confirmed with him the trip for late july there.

Can you get me 2 below-market Paramore tickets -- May 8?
Sorry to derail your thread Ace, however I didn't see it nessisary to revive a new one. Since you seem to be involved in the meet up ill post here. I just wanted to say that I meet up with Max the other day( nice level headed normal gu, his wife was nice as well). He had the cash as promised and offered me the entire amount. I declined the entire amount because I didn't feel it nenecessary. He insisted but I said how about $200 and deal we with the rest when and if this all happens.Quote: MaxPenGood Luck on your trip.

Looks like we have 800 in action with Baccaratfrom79.
I have $ 50 to win $125 on a side bet with Maxpen If for any reason this doesn't happen by May first I win. If the bet goes down as mentioned he wins.

No problem with a de-rail -- my TR's are like living organisms -- they wander and veer and take on a life of their own
Quote: sodawaterCan you get me 2 below-market Paramore tickets -- May 8?
My host (Julie e.) whom was at the Borgata when I used to go there went to the Tropicana. I don't have a current host there, my g.n. host (whom I knew for years at The Taj), is getting me those tickets cause we made a commitment to stay at his property.

Well, typically during a divorce each party has their own attorney.. so he'd be billing the woman.

I hope I'm not out of line but I have to ask since you've mentioned it at least four times. Is there a story brewing here? I hope I'm reading this right in thinking that you want to be asked about this. Is this something you'd like to share? Did you have a scare or a near miss?
Ace, you are one of our most interesting posters. You could write about paint drying and make it fun. What say you on this subject?
