    When I was in my 20s I would do that every week. Now it actually takes me at least 4 days of 13-4 hours of sleeping and naps today per day. I don’t enjoy it much anymore. I like to play and I don’t have anyway to make money like that ... I’m at the end of my playing time I don’t see myself doing this really endless I had to. My back got put up against the wall after some stupid mistakes on my part so I got to do what I got to do.

    Where you lost big is worse than pretty shitty. Best hi limit for 2 joints is 4/6, though I have preferred dealers, 1 decent game where I bumped into you, and the native joint is about as bad as it gets. Yet, there are ways around. Tolerance is pretty good.

    I don’t even remember where I lost big I thought that’s where I bumped into u lol.


    I lost a million dollars in Lars in the last 12-15 months tilting my brains out. Maybe more I got 400k left. I’m sure it was a small lose compared to what I Have lost lately. 200k was a rebate dragon counting in baccarat. The other 800k was donkey plopped bets of 5,000-40,000 per hand.

    I am older than Zee.

    Since BJ has drastically deteriorated over the last three+ decades, most of us are oldsters.

    The youngsters who read this forum with the fervent hope of "living the life" rather quickly

    learn that this winding road of gold is a slippery as part of our crumbling infrastructure.
    L.O.L.

    I don’t look at it like that. Bj was great to me. I was getting triggered by my trauma ( you should be familiar with this ur a phycologist) when playing high stakes poker or banking high stake cal games. I have inter personal developmental trauma and it gets triggered during certain scenarios ( a version of tilt, but I know the deep underlying mechanics of it) and my fight response would get triggered and my body would get hot and it would feel like a death like feeling and the only way to relieve the pressure was to do something. The minute I got off the poker table and made a big bac bet my heart beat would slow down and I felt “in control” of the situation.

    i don’t believe in addiction cause there is always underlying emotional stuff driving it. That’s why u see people in aa who get sober and get real fat, or people in GA start drink ect.

    there is always unconscious reasons for behavior.

    to say this is what happens to youngsters is completely foolish. Bj is fine, there’s a lot of casinos and clean names can always make a couple 100k before it gets hard to play. So I strongly disagree with ur post. Bj was nothing but good to me and it didn’t activate my fight , flight , freeze or fawn responses like playing against another human did .

    Meanwhile im 10x the player of anyone on these forums but i get 1 outed on a daily basis when I play. I can have max bets with 20s against a 2,3,4,5,6 and ill lose them time and time again. The whole table including the dealer gets blackjacks i get 12s and 13s and 14s. Just makes me laugh. Im headed for the nearest bridge soon. Im done with this bullshit life. This isnt just blackjack relates but everything ive done in my life hard work never pays off. I just get trolled time and time again in whatever i do.

    What’s with the narcissism zenking. Some aren’t cut out for this and some hit horrible runs. If u aren’t happy in life make a change but don’t come to me with ur bullshit that u have no control of the situation. Be a man and get the sand out of ur vagina. Ur in control of situation. All u do is bitch bitch bitch. For real get a therapist, because the great blackjack players don’t lose or boast that they are the best in the world they rather quietly go play there trade and win the money.
