Just arrived at GNAC and Played 1 shoe wherein I Didn't lose a double down - Trip is +2k
I had dinner with my dad then, as I was about to play, my host asked me to come to the steakhouse for a dinner and wine tasting. I told her I ate but I guess she needed to put some fannies in the seats as it ended up being more like a time share presentation for wine connoisseurs. Now I'm going to be sitting here - I am way underdressed but my host needed to fill the seats - she definitely was reaching the bottom of the barrel asking me to show up - However, it would be rude to leave so I will not be playing for another 30-40 minutes
Just lost 1600 back in 1 shoe - Only won 4 hands the rest were pushes or losses - Trip +400Ok
so, after losing the 1600 back, I proceeded to lose another 3k on top of it - Of course, I was cursing that dagnabbit wine tasting dinner as keeping me from the tables but I, of course, realize it is one big shoe and playing or not playing at certain times is meaningless, but, I needed something to curse in the moment...So, there I sat and played and played and played...slowly making a comeback A few chips here and a few chips there each shoe, it gradually got better and better until I was 200 away from once again being even --- alas, per the usual, I lost a double down then the next few hands and was once again +2k - I then played and played some more and finally, after about another hour, had regained 1900 of the 2k I was winning and had lost back - I was dealt a blackjack and was up 2050 - Tipped the dealer and now the trip is once again +2k Time for bed for me - Sweet dreams
Player at my table just refused to double ace 7 v 5 - he would've had a 3 then I would've had 21 - Next hand he refused to double ace 5 against a 6 - he would've made 21 and so would have I - Instead it became an 800 swing for me losingI just sat down again and the same guy came in right before shoe started 3 hands later he gets ace7 v 4 and stays I had a 6 4 he stays I draw a 3 on my double ( which would've given him a 21 ) of course I lost the hand - What the F is wrong with people‽ - Trip -500 bc of this mofo
Ever since that guy made those bad plays I'm down - Put up my last 300 for the trip got 3 3 v dealer 2 - Had to go to the ATM: First 3 dealt an 8 doubled and pulled a Jack for 21; Second 3 dealt 7 doubled got a Jack for 20 - Dealer has 2 flips a 9 draws a 3 draws a 7 - YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING MEI SMASHED THE TABLE SO HARD SECURITY CAME OVER
Ok first shoe back was a disaster lost another 1k - Switched tables and was inspired by the dealer's story of a guy he dealt mini-bac to earlier that day who started with 200 and let it ride each hand for 14 hands and won 80k - I pressed my wins more and got the 1k back from the opening shoe plus another 2k - Trip is -2k
Sat down and played another shoe got a quick 1k back - Trip is -1k
Played another ½ shoe and picked up 1k - The comeback is complete - got back to Even and calling it a weekend
Hitting up a blackjack tournament in AC next weekend so will start fresh then
