After playing the total of about 50 hours (12 sessions), here's what it looks like:

Rules are: 8 deck, S17, DAS, no surrender. Perfect basic strategy, spreading only 1-2 (I know, I know, lol). A few very basic deviations from BS, based on I18, and just a little bit of Wonging out, when the count goes really low (I was typically waiting until TC of -3 to take a short break).

Total bet units won: 21. Worst loss: 13 units. Best win: 22 units.

This is what I was kind of hoping for; keeping it at around break-even point, picking a few comps and having some fun, without losing money.

I know that 50 hours of play time is too small a sample, but I'm happy so far.

Does this make any sense? All I'm hoping for is that I can keep it like this in the long run.
