So I put up 500 and got a 6,5 v dealer 7 - F'ng waitress come up while I had 500 double down (my last 500) and says - "Oh you're gonna win this this dealer is giving money away" - I'm dealt a 9 for 20 --
dealer has 7 turns over a 4 and of course then draws a Jack for 21


Trip is -5k

I was F'ng one hand away and lost it all back in a matter of minutes

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

Seems I cannot have a winning session anymore like in the old days

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.

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.

I Won't be happy until he gets so mad he actually rips up an AOS. I have seen guys do it in poker. Not the AOS, but pocket kings getting rivered by an ace.

Here's a related math question: Over the years I have seen players losing many hands, and more often than not they start doing better after they lose their tempers and berate the dealer. Is that true, and if so, why?

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.

I would suggest you talk to the pit boss and dealer and explain you were extremely upset at losing and try to patch things up. I have a bad feeling about whats to come if you dont resolve this.....
