This is what I like. You're down and then
you get some of it back, and then....

Good work, Ace. Nice to see you got a good chunk of it back.

Remember, for every shoe where you lose a bunch....there is another shoe where you're (almost) just as likely to win the same amount back. Not that you're ever due (to win or lose).

You showing up to SLS meet up tomorrow night?

Sat down at a double deck game and was quickly down 1200

Switched tables and ride the roller coaster

Eventually some positive variance in the form of 4 double downs came my way

So you went from -9000 to -3300.
That's damn good. But the casinos
are still happier than you, time to
double down....

Sat down at a 6D game and started getting destroyed immediately
Had no stand pat hands - just hitting and busting and was quickly down 1100
I superstitiously asked for a shuffle and got it all back by the end of the new shoe

Perfect example of the roller coaster
ride of BJ. Down 9000, now down
2300. The ride is climbing up the hill,
but is it close to the top? I guess we'll
find out.
