Hello,
I was reading "Blackbelt in blackjack" and I was wondering which
method you use to determine your bets?
kelly betting or 5%ROR? I'd been basing my bets using tables
in "Blackjack: Play Like the Pros" which I think is based on
5% ROR of your bankroll. I am finding the fluctuations
difficult..I'm doing okay for the year but last trip,
despite what I thought was good play, I lost
like 6% of my BR wiping out profits from 2.5 trips.

i guess I still have a newbie attitude of thinking of money won
as money I have in the bank.. I think of everything I could have done with the money..
I'm not sure I'm cut out for this. I don't want to risk big
but to play conservatively, the money is not worth the time, breathing in smoke,
and the heart palpitations. I think I will just play conservatively if I happen to be at a location
for a vacation.

Anyway, thanks for listening.
