Between back offs, counter measures, and 86's... I'm just a little shy of 200. Probably over that amount if you count all of the close calls that I ran away from before anyone could officially approach me. But that figure also includes getting counter-measured or backed off at the same casino several times each. So that figure does not represent being backed off from 200 different casinos.
As far as "high stakes" goes... I guess that's relative. I was betting 2x500, when I lost that 23K. I had short period where my top bets were ranging anywhere from 2x600 to 2x1,000, but I've played stakes more consistently in the 2x300 to 2x500 range (top bets). I'd say that's probably more "mid-level stakes." Anything above 2x500, I'd consider high stakes.

Most places I play are not local, so I'm carrying a trip roll with me. I guess based on the stakes I'm playing will determine how much I'm traveling with. I'd travel with anything between 20 and 40K. As far as session roll... I'd probably leave a lot of the cash at the hotel and just walk into the casino with 15K or so. When I was playing a bit higher stakes, then I was carrying 20K+ with me inside the casino. It just depends. It's never the same.
My horror story is very recent and very similar to Ryemo just in a very small scale timeframe... after a great run of 20% bankroll wins I resized to black chips... 2 hours after that I experienced a $10K loss in a single shoe... I didn’t catch shit at TC +4 and up... well I grinded the casino for the next 30 hours and was able to finish my trip recouping everything with a $300 win lol.
