Thank you to all who have contributed their valuable knowledge to the forums on this website and have answered our questions. I have gained a lot of knowledge and insight which has helped me bring my play to a higher level. There is still plenty for me to learn and I eagerly await more. Hopefully, some day, I will be able to contribute just as much or even just a little something.

As for my trip...

It is Friday afternoon and I'm headed down to AC for the weekend. I've just [re]read chapter 1 "Back-Counting the Shoe Game" in _Blackjack_Attack_. (This time it is BJA3 since I just got my copy. I'm happy to see that much has changed compared to BJA2 and that it was definitely worth buying.) I'm getting myself mentally prepared and running through the indices for hi-lo...

I get in and walk to the casino floor and I'm happy to see that the weekend crowd still hasn't made it in yet and that the limits for the 6D shoes are still low ($25). I sit down to play and within a couple shoes I'm up $1,500. This was the start of a great weekend...

I hopped around to just about every store. I played green to black with a 1-20 spread, hi-lo with full indices, and only played for short periods. I generally played graveyard shifts so as to avoid the crowds and get the lower limits. I made sure not to make too much in a session to avoid drawing too much attention. Although, I got a little heat a couple of times. I laid low then and colored up shortly after extra pit critters came to watch my game.

By the end of my trip I was up 440 units. So, for the past two weeks I'm up a total of 620 units. I just hope I can continue to avoid the opposite side of the bell curve.
