    lack of a bag negative streak so far is making me nervous of moving to $25 min. It feels due. My biggest drawdown was $450 which is a large part of the "bankroll" in hind sight.

    Wipe that "feeling due" nonsense out of your mind. It's pure ploppy gambler logic. You are not due anything. The range of possible results has equal chance of happening each session you play vs other sessions.Won 10 sessions in a row? You are just as likely to win the next one as lose it.

    I got pissed off once. Knew I was heading for a backoff. I won the entire month at this store, about 18 or 19 times. As long as I was there, I wanted a no loss month, so, I lost the last session if the month.

    What was pretty funny during one of the aforementioned sessions.
    Anither counter came in, saw me, just stood there and started texting. I texted a fellow counter, partner to the observer - is that so and do at this store. Yes was the reply, thinks you're being watched. I am I replied.

    This is "stinkin' thinkin'.
    This is the mind set of a pathological gambler.
    Sessions and Days are artificial distinctions.
    All play is one long string of results. Timeless.

    Huh? You play constantly.
    Please clarify. Grammatical
    and syntactical errors fixed.

    Just because I am barred or trespassed at many places I still have
    excellent games with great table conditions to plunder.

    One place deals a 6 decker ($15 to $500) S17, LS, RSA and better than
    90% penetration with uncrowded tables. Heat is extremely low and the
    House Edge is about HALF of what you face in
    the sub-par Reno games.

    If you win 57% of your sessions and winning sessions earn more than money
    than sums lost in the remaining 43% you are doing fine. You should be seeing
    long-range
    results where winning sessions occur roughly 65%-70% of the time.

    It's much more like the Red Sox season this year.
    For a person who plays as much as you do, thinking otherwise, and trying to win every session, is juts plain silly. And, in the long run, it doesn't matter what you think, because you can't accomplish such a goal anyway.

    Can you define "session," please. Because if it's an hour or less, 65%-70% isn't even remotely realistic.

    Who says the player does not have much game in them? They at least know enough about discipline in game selection.

    What does that even mean? Okay you have quantity, can you play heat free, while betting very heavy green, in even one of them? Out of those 20 casinos and 200 tables how many can you actually play at, and the more important question, is it even worth it to play?
