I'm confused - I didn't say table limits is why it works, I said it's why it didn't work (plus, nobody has an unlimited bank roll).

So in a circumstance where you had a truly unlimited bank roll and your funds would never dry, there were no table limits, AND you were never asked to stop playing, it'd have to work would it not? After all if you kept doubling up, you'd eventually - despite innumerable draw-down with a large enough sequence of losses - get back all of your original bets.

Of course we live in a real world where nobody has unlimited funds.
