    Agreed. 65 hours in 13 days in the same place is hardly disciplined. To me, it is the opposite of disciplined and it is getting over-excited about one's wins and not thinking about what you're doing.

    This is really pushing it and pretty much any place and is a really bad idea at least on its face. There could be other factors that would make this kind of volume okay but it sounds like he's just hammering away at the place and thinks he's in the clear by keeping his sessions to "only" 3 hours or less.

    Fortunate not to be backed off yet but it's almost certainly coming if he keeps it up.

    I have been playing rated at this one casino for over 3 years and I play there for practice so I don't really push my bets hard like when I go out of state and play high limit and black chipping. I am playing 4 deck $15min H17, DAS any 2 cards up to 4, no surrender and table max is $300. Sometimes I red chip if those are the only tables open when I am playing and when I am about to go out of town for a serious black jack trip I will play some double deck to get in some practice at $50 table min $1000 max. I normally don't have the time to spend playing this much but I took some days off to do some home projects and thenI went to the casino to play in the afternoons for a bit. I also mix up my play by hitting the baccart tables and poker so I really don't think I am on the radar.. I am always careful of my intent and purpose when I play there. After this week, I will back to my normal routine...

    Correct, I was down $1.5K at the end of that session. Since then, I only down $$800.00. When those doubles just don't pan out and the TC is high it stings... It really does sting..
