Ouch! I certainly knew when I posted my loss it was petty, compared to what some of you play.
Really my loss wasn't the money. It was the loss of discipline for that short amount of time. Which, knowing I did that hurt worse than any money I've lost.

I do however appreciate your intentions here.
I'm sure you will get it back in no time!

Petty? Hardly.

As a percent of BR, your loss could easily have been larger and more painful than AM's.

Don't sell yourself short or be intimidated because you're betting reds.

But you do have to play properly as much as is possible (due to a limited BR your ROR may just be very high and nothing you can do about it; but you can still play properly, etc).

Something to think about. Didn't look at it this way.

Agreed. These past couple of months have been great. I started by buying BJA3, I then bought Wong's Book, Beat the Dealer, and the Bluebook.
I then bought a handmedown computer and bought CVBJ. Boy was I excited about this last part. Got the CVBJ popped in the computer and bam!!! It sucked. (the computer) I got more from the cd by taking it out and holding it up to the light.
Sooo that brought me to final and last investment for a while. Bought a laptop, I can now take CVBJ with me everywhere I go. What a world of difference too, from that dinosaur to this. I'm like a fat kid in the candy store again. Now I just have to utilize all this wonderful information and make my money back. I said all that to say,I spent the past couple months upgrading my arsenal so that I can play as correct a game as possible. I urge anyone that hasn't already, to purchase the software. What a blessing. I no longer have to deal to myself or bribe someone to do it. Anyway, that was really a longwinded reply, so thanks again for the input!
