I just played a micro-sessionp layed 8 hands, won 3 of 4 doubles and ended up +1k just lost the 1k back plus the 3k from last week in 1 shoe - lost 8 double downs - dealer beat me with 17 on half of them - lost 4 hands of 20 along the way as wellthis was a head's up gameTrip is -3kAbout to have something to eat then plan on going on T💥I💥L💥T lol - still way down been playing a couple of hours now at least and can't seem to get a "run" going - Trip -4400
trying to regroup and get this done - played a little bit more got another 400 back so down 4k for this trip calling it a night -- too tired to play tomorrow I am having lunch with a friend I've known since Kindergarten and then dinner with the family members from CT
Well, couldn't sleep last night as the heat did not work in my room - slept about 3 hours - came down and played two shoes - in the first shoe I had 3 blackjacks to the dealers 8second shoe got much better and I picked up 500trip is -3500 and then saw this six 27s in a row
Headed back to the room to relax a bit and had to call housekeeping and ask them that they please not spray whatever air freshener/carpet freshener they use - it is overwhelming and burning up my nostrils
just played half a shoe and got 500 - trip is -3SERENITY NOW!!!
just got nailed for 1500 losing 5 doubles ughhhhTrip -4500
Also, had a guy at table tell me he would teach me basic strategy after he didn't like a play I made lol
The roller coaster continued -sat down earlier down 5500 for the weekend slowly made the climb to only being down 4500 for the weekend before the "I'm the dealer and therefore I get all the blackjacks and youuuuuuuuu don't neener neener neener" phase started - within a couple of shoes I was down 6k - took a dinner break and upon my return, satiated and ready for battle, I was able to grab 2k back to the good and now stand 4K down for the trip (1k if I don't count the 3k I won last weekend lol) dealer just got 8 21s in 9 hands WTF‽ she started the next shoe with 2 naturals in a row then another guy sat down but no mid-shoe and from that point forward, now down 5500, got back a quick 1500 - Trip -4k
What's a trip report without some controversy?
Cut card was first card out of shoe on a hand
Dealer kept dealing playing it out
whole table lost of course and we asked why there was no shuffle
Floor supervisor said the "cut card" is merely a guide to let the dealer know they should shuffle soon
So we asked how much latitude a dealer had and she replied - well it is a guide that they have to shuffle - she was not "getting it"
roller coaster was down to my last 100 and got 2600 back taking a break - enjoyed some Ben & Jerry's and headed back to the pit - had to wait for a Reserved table to open up (meaning for them to make a previously Reserved table available to the gaming public) had a nice run straight out of the gate and picked up another 900 - Trip is -3500 (-500 between last week and this week)-19 YTD
I didn't play anymore but I did watch a woman at a reserved game play 20k/hand for 3 hands at a time ride the blackjack roller coaster
My host gave me a shopping certificate so basically between last weekend and this weekend (including shopping) broke even
Overheard: a host tell a limo driver he told his player the Mohegan Sun jet is "temporarily grounded" bc he is up a bunch and wants him to keep playing
