Default Re: BLACKJACK PROBLEM!!!!

Good to hear a couple of things.

FIrstly, you are a winning poker player. THis is a very hard thing to do, as we all know.

It sounds as if you are a horrid blackjack player.

I find this interesting on a cerebral level. I remember reading one blackjack book when i was eighteen and basically broke even, forgetting about cards. I think with basic strat you are about a 1% dog? So, if you are betting 50 at a time, then you should be theoretically losing a dollar.

Learing poker has been sooooooo much more difficult for me on so many levels. Everything depends on everything else, and of course, the answer to everything is 'it depends'

How exactly are you tilting off your blackjack money? Is it not realising the massive variance, or ignoring basic strategy?

I truly sympathise with your situation, being a pro gambler, basically living in a casino, winning in one portion of it, and then losing it in another.

Do you have anyone who you can trust to keep you away, a poker buddy, or female friend?

Is there a self exclusion policy available at the casino?

I suppose that one could always play at the lowest table, but the problem is that gamblers love to gamble, to feel the joy and the pain, which you dont feel at a $5 table.
