    Either Double deck playing 1.25-1.5 decks down or six deck playing 1.5 to 1 deck down H17 DAS. Honestly I'm willing to play whatever game the casino offers as long as the conditions aren't garbage. 25K starting bankroll (28K at the beginning of this trip) $25-$200x2 spread although at places with a $10 or $15 minimum I'll do $10-$200x2. I'm not anywhere close to high roller status, but I'll consider myself successful when I can responsibly bet two hands of $500.

    Day 4: needed a day to recoup and catch up on work before heading further out. I came home to some time with my wife. To prepare for tomorrow I ate moderately healthy, exercised, and soaked up some sun. The plan is to head to Vegas tomorrow. Hopefully we get some decent play time before getting fliered.

    When is an appropriate time to restructure my bet sizing? Is there a general rule such as a 25% swing in either direction?

    Craven, I hope that you kick some ass starting tomorrow.

    It all boils down to your propensity for risk and what does that $25K mean to you and your family. Only you know how much risk you are willing to undertake.
