    "Severe" includes death.

    Update on yesterday's play: I was able to cash out the chips successfully. I changed my hat and jacket, headed straight to the cage, and was out with no issues. After another hour of play I ended the day +3563.

    Day 3: I originally thought I could get 10 hours of play in per day, but with all the drive time + pausing sessions when mental fatigue/boredom hits I'm averaging 5 hours a day. Today was a loser -2430. Funny how the heat is significantly less in magnitude when you're losing. Against a grumpy old man's wishes there is more to come.

    You are a high roller. If you can make or lose this much money in a day, you are probably betting $200 a hand. What was your spread when you had heat? What are the play conditions? sex deck, eight deck?

    I you're playing sex deck games, avoid any dealers that come off as half-cocked!

    Only in your mind. In fact it is just the opposite. They just made some money off of you and now it is their money, which they rather not part ways with.

    Playing conditions for the most part are subject to change by the minute.

    I started $2000 but lost 10 times of this. I thought I was a high roller.

    Where are these two deck games. It is scarce in my region of east. If any, the minimum is always $50.

    I only play for the most part 6 deck and based on conditions will also play 8 decks. Two deck games are very rare to find on the east coast, to which I have yet to see any there.

    One million dollars. Then you can play at $100 minimal 6D BJ table which should give you the best rules the house will give BJ players. Spread 16 to 1 or 20 to 1.

    Does that mean that you lost $20,000?

    It is good that you do not find the two deck games anyway if the minimum is $50 and you show up with with $2000.

    Bosox, one can have a $100k bank roll but still carry $2000 for a short session at a $50 DD game. Say, you sat down with a $4000 session BR, lost $2k, you wouldn’t say I have just $2k left and quit the session?

    Ok, one can have a total BR of $2000, take a kamikaze approach and play that $50 table rather than grind away at @ $5 table.
