    January, 2020...new year has started.

    Well, after a mediocre, mostly even year, I began 2020 hoping to increase play. Results...

    1st couple were 3 day road trip....

    January 8-11th.     25 hours, Plus $1900. Expenses $500-$1400

    January 23-25. 25 hours, Minus $200, Expenses $350-Minus $550


    January 28th. Local casino, 90 minutes , Minus $400


    January 29th, Local casino, 90 minutes. Plus $300


    January 30th, Local casino, 40 minutes, Minus $260


    January 31st. Local casino, 60 minutes, Plus $20


    Total for month, 63.5 hours played, won $1360, Expenses $850, Net win $510.

    Interestingly, all my losses were at 6 deck games, wins at DD. Local casinos are a challenge as they have all used counter measures before, so I stay away from HL rooms, use minor disguises.

    Zee, nice report. Now lets keep good records for 2020.

    Last time I played was in Nov 2019. I've been snow bound ever since, but I'm getting the itch to get out there again.

    Expenses were way too high on my trips. Got to figure to get more hours in on trips. Also, I have to learn to play 6 deck games better. That’s what the local casinos offer to me.

    Does that mean overcoming the fear of spreading the way you need to, to beat 6D games?

    FYI,

    25 hrs + 25 + 1.5 + 1.5 + .7 + 1 = 54.7, NOT 63.5.....hey...the good news is your hourly rate is higher

    Yes, thanks! And I started February with a bang! Won $350 in a $25 minimum game at a casino that usually countermeasures me. In 15 minutes! Just 2 shoes. Got up and left as I saw a pit person who would have likely recognized me returning to the pit.
