Your Gross Loss (Or Profit) in BJ - Lifetime
 
Also post the hand where you had the most $$$ riding. I'm talking about BJ live and online not just Party Poker.

Loss: -4kish before bonuses and such.

Hand: $50 on two spots. Split 3 times and double down a few for $450 total. Ended up $50 I think.

I had managed to grind my bankroll up to 4500 dollars from 1000 playing 3/6 live this year, then I went to Reno for the Hilton poker challenge. I got there and made the money in a SnG. After, I went and met my friend at the PaiGow table. I sat down and started knocking back free drinks and getting trashed. Eventually ended up at blackjack. I then lost 2400 in 4 hours. I just didn't feel like playing poker after that. I spent the next 3 days in the pit trying to get even. I ended up losing another 2500, and didn't even play any sattelites or enter any tournaments. Blackjack is the devil's game. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

+50k....

I played ~ 2000 hours casino BJ over a couple years, mostly at Turning Stone. I got backed off in March of '99 and they opened up the poker room a couple months later. I then dropped about 15k before I picked up a 2p2 book.

You think poker is a grind? I never want to see another hand of BJ again for the rest of my life, sober at least.

Best,

zooey

Win/Loss- I've played so much that I have no idea. If I had to venture a guess, I'd say I'm about even.

Most money won/lost in a hand (although I'm sure I've won this much as well but just don't remember it):

$30,000-

I distinctly remember splitting 9's against a 5 after I had placed a $6,000 wager. I re-split after receiving a third 9, doubled down after receiving a 2, and doubled down on my third hand after receiving another 2. After making all of my hits, splits, and doubles, I had $30,000 riding on three hands of 20, 19, and 19. The dealer turned over her hold card which was a six for eleven, then drew an ace from the shoe for twelve, and then a nine of all cards for twenty-one.

+$15 from the one time I played live casino blackjack. No interesting stories; the closest is that I was down to my last $60 (from like $100 to start) and had been sort of counting and the deck looked very good for the player so I bet the rest of it and hit a blackjack. I played a whopping two hands after that, tipped the dealer, and walked off with my sweet 3 redbirds of profit.

How come I am the only one who has nothing but bad luck at PP BJ? I can win in a casino, but PP BJ sucks my money away.

Re: Your Gross Loss (Or Profit) in BJ - Lifetime
 
Used Kenny Uston's million dollar BJ... its not the best
system around, found out later, but it worked well enough.

At the end I was playing doubledeck , spreading 1 hand $50
to 2x $500. They let me play for over a year and a half on
the six deck shoes, but after 6 weeks at doubledeck I was
let go.

That 30k hand though, wow. I'm sure I never hit anything over $2-3k.

Edit: And I wasn't especially lucky, did you catch
the 2000 hours part? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

how could u make 6k and lose it in less than ten hours?
Isn't the maximum bet 100 dollars?

climber 05-08-2006 02:07 PM

Re: Your Gross Loss (Or Profit) in BJ - Lifetime
 
$200 max bet

buy in for $100 bet $5 a hand till you have like $300 then bet $100 and win then a few more $100 bets hits $800 then start betting $200 every hand. hit a few blackjacks and double down a few times and you have 6.5k

climber 05-08-2006 02:10 PM

Re: Your Gross Loss (Or Profit) in BJ - Lifetime
 
then to lose it all get stuck like 50BB playing 10-20 then deicde to stay up and make it back. drop like 2500 before calling it quits and then think to yourself oh yeah duh all the esy moeny is kept over at Party BJ. I'll be unstuck in no time. Lose it all back

Then feel liek a sick degenerate and promise yourself never to play BJ again.

Im seriously going to GA if I ever bet more that $5 a hand on BJ in the future or find myself playing it for anything other than entertainment value.

I have lost around 3-4K playing BJ in my lifetime. My favorite was one day(middle of the night) at foxwoods I lost a killer $3K set over set hand playing 5/10NL and I was so pissed I got another 2K, went to play BJ and drink and was doing ok. I got it up to 3K, then of course after two different $1K hands (its so cool to hear them yell "TABLE MAX!") that I was pretty pissed and finished. What a nice -$5K 2 hours.

this thread is good timing.

on friday, i got a reload offer from bet365 casino. 30% up to $150. i deposit $1000 and start flatbetting $5 a hand. im str8 owning the [censored] out of it, up like $300.

then my friend messages me, i tell him to come over and watch me str8 pimp blackjack. he comes over and like 20 mins later, i get distracted somehow. instead of putting out a $5 bet, I FUGGING PUT OUT A $1000 BET. I HAD SOMEHOW CLICKED ON THE $500 CHIP TWICE.

i didn't even realize it till the cards were dealt. i got two dueces and when i tried to split, it said insuficient funds and thats when i realized my massive misclick. so i sat there for about 5 mins pondering the situation. i was playing blackjack surrender(lowest house edge) so i could either surrender or play out the hand. being the adventureious risk taking gangsta that i am, i decide to play the hand.

dealer shows a 5, flips over a facecard, then pulls another facecard, BUST!!!!! FUG YEA!!!

it was so fugging intense when i won. i mean, i have lost over a thousand before but that was playing poker over a couple hours. This is $1,000 on 1 hand of blackjack. man it was absolutely sick.

Lost 1800 in one trip to a random casino. I was driving 3 hours or so with a friend to visit some friends from college. I had just left the casino (poker), so I had some money on me. About 2 hours into the ride, we were bored and saw a casino. In the middle of nowhere, there was this casino, so naturally we stopped. There were 3 poker tables, spreading a max game of 2-10 spread limit, and Blackjack tables with weird limits like 5-100, 3-50, but nothing higher. I ask the pit (im some 18 year old kid at the time) if they could open another table so I could play blackjack and they tell me to go play at the 3$ table. I told them I was thinking a quarter game, and they finally find a dealer really quick lol. Within 5 minutes, I have my very own table + dealer and a little crowd of random skank girls that apparently hang out there. Buy in 800, up 400, bust. Rebuy a grand, play like 2 hands then the dealer gets changed. The hottest chick in there is dealing to me, she burns a card and I have a 300$ bet, blackjack, dealer....10 up A under, push. Next hand, blackjack, dealer.....10 up Ace under AGAIN. She then procedes to pay me on 1 of maybe 20 hands that I played and I leave 10 minutes later.
