Your Gross Loss (Or Profit) in BJ - Lifetime

[Dastone]

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,

50k? Did you count or did you get lucky or a lil' bit of both? And how big were your bets?

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]
