Reminds me of my last session of Spanish 21. Couldn't win a double double double down (redoubling down so you end up with 8 units on just one hand ) to save me. That's an $80 swing from a $5 bet!
Keep swinging. You'll eventually hit a homer instead of striking out.

I ask again since you didn't answer me before, what's your average bet? It seems like you're betting way too high with a 5k trip bankroll.

Was flat betting 100 until the final hand----that is how badly variance treats me
Years ago I would win so consistently - lately, it seems as if winning one hand is a Sisyphusian feat

They will ask you to leave for that if you
continue. It makes them look bad, no
matter how much you're losing. What
did they do that made you curse at them?

It was a general "FU" to the whole pit
I had to blow off steam somehow
Seems I cannot have a winning session anymore like in the old days
It is frustrating but I am calm and will turn it around

You talk way to much about security getting called. In my ten years of playing I have only seen security called 1 time and you have had then called on you at least 3 times this year. This anger does not seem healthy, imo.

It's certainly not an AP move. One can only imagine the comments on him in the computer. Personally, I'd be a little embarrassed.
We have guys that have far bigger issues around here.
Quote: AxelWolf1BB/GWAE Perhaps you're right, but that's Ace, take him or leave him. It is what it is. Everyone has issues, no ones perfect.
Well..... I don't want to pile on here, but yeah, losing control is "uncool". I suspect ACE knows it. He posted it here in the first place, knowing that some folks would see that as a red flag. My 2 cents ? Regain your composure, and apologize to the pit boss et al. IMHO, that would be the classy thing to do. Of course, take the suggestion for what it's worth. I valued it at 2 cents.
Ace: I enjoy reading your trip reports. Good luck the rest of the trip.
Let me say nobody called security - the times security has spoken to me have been times they were at the high limit pit and they gave me the " we know it's tough but take it easy speech"
Is that the same phone you used to track your 30 losses in a row?Quote: aceofspadesAxel I just accidentally flagged your post (damn smartphone)

Or it's the best cover. Maybe Ace is like the "Chin" Gigante just waiting to take the tables at GN for the big score.

LOL. I have no clue what it is in NJ, where I am it is 8.5%

It seemed to me that Ace was betting between 100-500 per unit.
He was betting more after lost more. The unfortunate truth is that if you bet more, you will lose even more.
Calm down, Ace! when you are in the losing streak, slow down or do something else.
Played half a shoe picked up 450
Trip is -3
Lost 1k

Dealer has 6 turns over 2 then draws an Ace
That would've gotten me back to the buyin of 2k at the table instead i lost
