I agree with Bjarg. I had some bad luck early in my serious play. I was still fortunate to have a nice win right before or after the big loss or both. Looking back considering the swings I see now I could have very easily busted my BR had a run of bad sessions hit. I have had some long runs of hard luck and some very deep but short runs since then. I just took each set back early in my serious play to sharpen and tighten up my game. That made me a better player but still as a better player I have had many bad runs that would have wiped my BR out earlier in my endeavor. It was an unbelievable run of good fortune when I invented my own count for a game I play that made my BR more swing resistant. I had several months of sessions that I just killed the casinos as soon as O started using it. I started to think I couldn't lose. I had taken $800 out of my BR to give my system a whirl. In the 2 months I ran the $800 into almost $20K being very conservative. I wish that lasted but alas reality is not that easy but I still continued to grow my BR over the last year since then. At least now I have the BR to withstand the crazy swings of this game. After hitting $40K (from the $800 while still having my original BR tucked away separate from that amount) and upping my spread I had 2 trips that lost 1/3rd of my BR causing drawdown to my previous spread level. Needless to say getting it back took a lot longer.
