Never received BJ on both hands like that before.

Sounds like selective memory.

You are right. I meant never receiving it at max bet like that before. There were other times when I did. Seen others get it too.

[PinkChip]

For example, if I lose 3 max nets in a row, I often lower my bet cause I might be in a hole (bad, I know but it’s usually an act of loss prevention).

No, this is no loss prevention, but far more likely it is win prevention. At least it is lowering your EV. The only reasons to justify lowering your max bets are 1) your bankroll has significantly decreased, which should not happen suddenly during a shoe, or 2) getting heat from the pit. Neither of them seems to be the case in your example.

But pretending going on tilt when rebuying this last hand was a good move for camouflage. Appearing desperate but not being desperate, knowing exactly what to do and why you do it.

ZeeBabar, you have been doing this for at least five years now and still doing the same things without a logical game plan. That above quote of yours is like you just started playing the game two days ago. Just play at a level of play that you will stop worrying about all the stupid nonsense of a single session result. Including debating with yourself if you should double or resplit based on your results of the last twenty minutes of play. Something I do not understand please explain the following question. If your intent is to leave after being up or down two to three K why bring 10K on that trip? Whatever your playing bank is, is a meaningless number "also dangerous to you by over betting" if you are not truly committed to making it available to yourself, which is very apparent. At least be truthful with yourself.



Insanity!

Agree with BoSox. Zee I used to try and stick up for you when people put you down, but your posts lately are just crazy.
It's not "Pro player vs. casual player" Any AP even if just a casual player should know better than your ploppy posts lately.

If your max bet was 2 x $90, why would you throw out 2 x $150 at TC 6? Maybe if the count were off the chart - say TC 10 - but at 6? If you were trying to look like a steamer, just buy in for 200 and bet 2 x $100, right?

Lets just say it was my Supermax.

For example, if I lose 3 max nets in a row, I often lower my bet cause I might be in a hole (bad, I know but it’s usually an act of loss prevention). The other day, playing heads up, playing 2 hands at $10 minimum table, after losing 3 rounds of 2 x $90 (my max bet), the shoe did not end, the TC was still +6 with about a deck to go. Maybe it’s lessons I learned here but I stopped another ploppy from joining the table “Mind if I play this last round by myself?”, cashed $300, asked for Greens, put 2 x $150 while looking at the pit guy standing at the table and said “it’s all the money I have, if I lose, you won’t see me in this “damned casino, ever” (acting like I am on tilt), looked at dealer, told him “no double downs or splits please” (she is feeling sorry for me) and I ended up getting a BJ on both hands! Dealer had a ten up and I said “I want even money” (course I knew you can’t get insurance on a ten up). I colored up and left having recovered most of my losses that sessions. Got paid for the BJ. Never received BJ on both hands like that before.

I know that next time I might not do it, take the risk of losing that much over 4-5 rounds and 3 minutes. It don’t come easy.

PinkChip, just how were those last two bets made by ZeeBabar a good camo play on his part? What happens if instead of getting two blackjacks Zee received multiple splits and possible doubles opportunities on those two hands? Does he tell the pit guy Oh, I had another grand in my other pocket? I don't think so as he would not want to put that money at risk anyway, but, if he surprisingly did do all the splitting and doubling would it still look like he was on tilt to you?

Repeating Zee:
Telling the pit person

“it’s all the money I have, if I lose, you won’t see me in this “damned casino, ever” (acting like I am on tilt), looked at dealer, told him “no double downs or splits please”

By saying that before actually seeing the cards was, in my opinion, overemphasizing ahead of time, and, could possibly draw more attention to yourself.

BoSox again notices very important info.
Zee come on man, you have been playing for too long to be acting like this.
And your max bet is your max bet...going above, and then calling it a "super max' is just over betting.
I'm not trying to be a dick...but is it because you can't play most of your local games anymore? It does suck to travel.

With my BR (about $70k +), I can afford playing a larger max bet. I just don’t. When I play 6 decks at $10-$15 min., I keep my max bet at under $100 per spot as it results in “Check Play” calls. However, at that situation with the pit present at table, the steaming act, I felt comfortable going over.

My max bet at DD is $200.

Gotcha. Thanks; that seems like a reasonable strategy.

Well for what it's worth...if your max bet to make the game profitable is $200...then if it were me I would work on an act or something to try and overcome the checks play call at $100. I don't know, good luck.

Would you care to elaborate?

In May 2017, I went to several countries around Switzerland together with friends. I searched for some strategies on the Internet and recommended the convenience of public transport in Switzerland. However, due to a large amount of luggage and considering that the homestay I booked was in a place where the bus was not convenient, I decided to drive by myself.
After entering the country from Frankfurt, Germany, we directly took the SUV reserved by EasyRentCars. We drove for 15 days in total. Lost way, not familiar with the traffic rules, language barrier...all of them has been solved, the only problem I didn't think of before -- parking!! It caused us damn trouble.?bi_polo?
We dared not stop randomly in the city and looked for parking lots everywhere. However, these countries are all unmanned parking lots, and the payment has become a headache. Still, have more headaches we went all the way experienced German area, Italian area, French area, found no is no English...Fortunately, most of the people have a little English basic and more enthusiastic, just successfully solved most of the problems, but until now I do not know how to charge a parking lot.
