Default Re: Questions about becomming a pro blackjack player

If I'm in Vegas, or somewhere else that has decent blackjack games, I'll play for fun, in $5 or $10 minimum games, and I'll count, because if I'm going to play, I'd rather have an edge, but I can't imagine trying to do it for a living. Even if I had the bankroll, I don't think I could handle the swings emotionally. I've had bad runs at poker, but nothing that compares to a bad run at blackjack.

16 vs. 10 hit and bust.
14 vs. 5 stand. Dealer makes 5 card 21.
Count is good. Increase bet.
20. Dealer blackjack.
20 Dealer 20 push.
14 vs. 10 hit and bust.
12 vs. 10 hit and bust. Dealer had 16.
11 vs. 6 Double. Draw Ace. Dealer makes 4 card 17.
20 Dealer has 20.

Repeat 200 times.
