Losing big on high counts
Does anyone occasionally find themselves over betting in some situations where the count is real high, but only to see the dealer getting the winning hands? I played 329 hands on a BJ sim Double-deck S17, heads-up, one hand at a time this morning and won 151 hands, lost 149, and pushed 29 times using the REKO strategy. Starting with $1000 I ended up at $5530 but the session didn't go according to how I would have liked. I only ended up positive $530 on the sim when I clearly should have been down $5000, but could have potentially ended up with $7500 (thanks to an unlimited bankroll in the sim) had I played at a higher level after I clawed my way back up to $5000.
I would characterize the session as being inconsistent with wild swings due to my part with 2 rounds of losing on high counts, and 2 rounds of winning on high counts. Started with $1000, went down to the $800 level while losing on the first high count, pull back to even and up to $1120 on the 2nd high count, losing my entire initial bankroll with the small win of $1120 on the 3rd high count because of over betting on counts of +5 +7, then getting creative and betting 3 or 4 hands of $1000 on a new round and losing them all, getting lucky and winning a few hands on the next $1000 where I made it back to $5000, winning $530 when I should have been betting $100, $150, $200, $500, and $750 respectively with $5000 showing on the table had it been for real. I realize the gig would have been up by that time starting out at an initial bet of $10 staring out, but I don't mind getting a little wild on a BJ sim.
