That's only 100 bets. I've lost 130 in a session before (betting big).

You were flat betting with a .5% disadvantage. This is flat betting with a 1.7% advantage. The chances of losing 80 units over 600 hands are < .15%

Good point, I'm sure they're doing this to hook in more degenerate gamblers. I'm going to show them my appreciation by raking in the Sklansky bucks from them this week and never playing there again.

Ok, here comes a possibly stupid and wrong idea....

Calculate how much you stand to make from this promo, and then if you get above that just stop playing and thank variance.
