I have similar concerns... I recently played at a casino ( out of my normal territory ) and was playing a $25.00 table max bet $1k 6-deck 1-1/2+ cut and I lost just over $2.5k in 3 hours of play. Most of it was head to head play with 30% with just another guy at the table. By the end I was feeling shell shocked and just called it a day. If I feel I am not playing at 100% then I stop playing regardless of the session length I set for myself at the start. Nothing went in my favor, nothing.. I had a +6 TC and had 2 spots of $225.00 out and pulled a 19 and 18 with the dealer showing a 6. Dealer gets a 5 card 21.. 6-2-4-4-5. For me I have set session lengths I set and I played two 2-hour sessions. I went back the next day and got back $500. I love to play BJ.. so it's not a grind.. My issue is when I have big losses like this one I start second guessing myself and wonder what I am doing wrong. What really helps is I set-up the same rules/bankroll on CVBJ and run some simulated games to see if I am making mistakes or losing the counts and I found I am playing at either 98% to perfect each time. If I test out below 98% then I stop playing and hit CVBJ for a few weeks really hard to make sure my game is at it's peak. From reading a LOT of books on Black Jack.. even top pro's like Ian Anderson, Snyder, Wong all had bad swings of losses... it just happens... If anyone is winning ALL the time and never has any major variance issues then they should write a book a make millions on how they did it.
