Rookie Mistake (+12 TC) and Arsehole Pounding

[Jabberwocky]

[QUOTE=Fenix;206099]I hate when everyone else gets 20's and BJ's and you can't seem to get any decent cards, or you'll finally get an 11, DD, and catch a 3. The whole table is painted nice except your spot. Gah. Lost half my BR a few weeks ago like that.

If you lost half your bankroll in one or two sessions, you were seriously over-betting. If I can't find conditions of no more than one other player, I play craps or hole card.

Hole carding is in my future. I'm still recruiting for a midget teammate to sit at third base in a 3CP game...

"I lost a max bet in a memorable way. The main count was -2, but there were 14 surplus aces in the shoe so I had max bet out."

If a losing hand is "memorable" then you need to learn to instantly "flush" your short-term memory.

A shoe with 14 Surplus Aces ? I shall assume 6 decks. At what point in the show were you ?

Were you using Hi-Lo ? Were you (100%) sober ?

To have an EXTREME surplus (or deficit) you were 'deep' in the shoe.

e.g. with 4 decks played 16 Aces would have been "normal"

14 Surplus Aces (at that point) would have had you seeing only 2 Aces.

Please clarify.

I only found it memorable because I've never had aces that unevenly distributed and the dealer offer insurance to me twice. Those were just unique occurrences.

I was playing a 6D shoe. We were 4.25 decks into the shoe. Two aces came out in the first deck, one near the end of the third.

I was not using hi-lo. I use HiOptII. I was very sober. I would have liked to drink, but I don't drink and drive.
