    First session in ~ 5 months

    I played my first session in many months after losing my previous 10 sessions, three of which were trip bustouts of $2k or more with a max of $100 per hand. Up to that point, I no longer believed that this game was winnable.

    In the meantime, I made about $13k this calendar year playing poker.

    I finally broke my losing streak, was up $130 at the end (woohoo!). But I was still behind for all but the last 10 minutes of the 3-hr session and was at one point $800 in the hole. In fact, I won one of my first 14 hands.

    I was rusty with my moves and made at least one index error which cost me $40... wasn't impressed.

    Penetration and rules hadn't changed. There was minimal heat, and they even tolerated me Wonging out at -1 (and not coming back until +1).

    I am probably going to be leaving the city I am residing in next summer and heading north. Henceforth are no opportunities to play any form of 21 in any viable way anywhere else within four or five hours' flight.
    I.... feel so right doing the Wong thing!!! 9-5! 9-5! 9-5! Every king that screws her makes me feel alive!!

    Glad to hear you made it back to the felt. I can understand how annoying it'll be to leave there to come to a place where all Pontoon is 6:5 CSM and BJ is H17 with $50 mins. The poker is amazing, however! So enjoy it.
