Day 1 play

Baccarat.

It was a lightweight session not much trouble. Ended a little ahead.

Day 2 play

Baccarat.

Was rough at times, down as much as -25K twice. Pressed into a Player run to come out ahead, and leave. You just have to lay the money out when it's called for, and not worry about it. "Scared money can't win." - meaning, that if it's time to press, PRESS.

Day 3 play.

Baccarat.

Not too different from the Day 2 day play in that I was behind -20K at one point but rallied nicely to win by the end.

Day 5 play.

Baccarat.

Major screw up. I was up a solid amount +67K over the course of several shoes and then dumped all of it and then some in maybe six hands! Not good. Had to stop then it just wasn�t happening. It was really just as much about player fatigue as I played too many hours straight without eating all day.

That�s the problem sometimes with small wins - even combined they can�t eclipse a big loss.

MDawg
05-10-2022, 06:56 PM
Day 6 play.

Baccarat.

A solid step back in the right direction. I was on the verge of a serious win in the neighborhood of 80K but I let up on the gas. Still nice though.

+18000

05-12-2022, 08:39 AM
Day 7 play.

Baccarat.

Slow but steady. Played just a couple shoes.

05-12-2022, 08:02 PM
Day 8 play.

Baccarat.

Didn't want a repeat of Day 5's dump, so once I got over +50K I fooled around with smaller denominations and left with some extra.

+63500

MDawg
05-14-2022, 08:29 AM
Day 9 play.

Baccarat.

Lot of back and forth ended slightly ahead.

05-19-2022, 06:08 PM
Day 10 play.

Baccarat.

Got a bank run. Screwed up a bit in that I didn't press as I should, but I did stay on the Bank and got all but one hand of the run. Walked ahead nicely.

Yes I left almost immediately after the run. Yes quitting while ahead does work.

+28000

05-20-2022, 03:36 PM
Day 11 play.

Baccarat.

There was definitely some up and down, I was ahead ten fifteen K, then back to even, then ahead ten K, and then gradually, almost imperceptibly, pushed past twenty K.

+24000

MDawg
05-20-2022, 09:06 PM
Day 12 play.

Baccarat.

I define a roll as stepping into a casino to put in some face time just to qualify for a promo, and walking with twelve large without even trying....

Day 13 play.

Day 14 play.

Baccarat.

Not good! I was actually ahead a relatively solid amount, about +18K, then went on a downward spiral that ended deep in the red.

-55000

MDawg
05-25-2022, 07:50 PM
Day 15 play.

Baccarat.

I was going to quit when ahead half as much but I pressed onwards. Some very heavy hitting along the way!

+62000

MDawg
05-27-2022, 01:47 AM
Day 16 play.

Baccarat.

Very heavy hitting action. Up and down. Some crazy five figure hands winning with six card 1 over 0 or 2 over 1.

Day 20 play.

DD Blackjack.

Actually never bet all that much at the top end, not all that much for MDawg anyway, but I was winning the majority of my hands.

It was like the Super Bowl in there. Heavy hitting back and forth at my private table.

MDawg
06-02-2022, 05:42 PM
Day 22 play.

DD Blackjack.

What was interesting here is that I didn't play that hard, and won more than in other sessions where I was betting much larger. Of course, what that means, is that during this session I was simply winning most of my hands.

Had a couple of fairly major downturns, but rallied to end ahead.

MDawg
06-14-2022, 07:13 AM
Day 32 play.

Baccarat.

Terrible first session. Dumped around 85K. I then cashed out ALL of my winnings from the current casino, which resulted in their closing temporarily my credit line of course, but I wanted it that way. Not that I even needed the credit line anyway, I had so many winning chips from the casino. But that way I locked in that win.

Then I went to different casino, played won, about 14K. Not much, but it is indicative of a reset of playing smaller and not trying to chase any of the day's losses.

Day 38 play.

Baccarat.

Pretty smooth sailing divided into two sessions. There was some backsliding around the +30K mark, but I recovered and pressed on ahead until I got hungry and decided to call it a day.

(Veal, rack of lamb or ribeye steak with a light spread of foie gras is something I've gotten into lately.)

I was actually down some and as soon as I got back above even, I quit.

06-28-2022, 05:52 PM
Day 45 play.

Baccarat.

Messed up, I got back to even from around a minus 50K loss, kept playing after a break and dumped quite a lot.

This would be the end of trip might just ride comps for a while and enjoy. Don't want to start dumping again it's no fun. Big wins sometimes lead to big expectations that may lead to big losses.

Not happy about this mess up.

Over all, it was this sort of thing years ago that led me to take a break from casino play. I was over all ahead, but I was having big swings, and not even as big as some of the swings I have been experiencing lately.

Just takes up a lot of energy for something where I don't really need the money and I'm just putting it away. It does detract from real life for something that is meant to be just a side hobby entertainment that happens to be profitable.

Whether it's time to take a long break or a short one, it is time to take...a break!

Day 46 play.

Baccarat.

A low key session, not pushing very hard, winning the majority of hands.

+17500

MDawg
07-01-2022, 12:01 AM
Day 47 play.

Baccarat.

Pretty solid. Was by no means easy lot of up and down along the way. It's not always easy to win. Two or three times I kept getting stuck at around +30K and once I even went negative substantially. What�s ironic is that when I passed +50k eight more Players landed (14 Player run) but I had achieved my goal so I bet ridiculously small all through it! once I was close to fifty K ahead. But I did win on most all of the Players on that run.

There was another point much earlier in the session when I took a single 5K chip and kept doubling it on a different Player run. 5K, 10K, 20K, I had 20K left on there was resigned to leaving it up when a female friend of mine "take is easy Tiger" 'ed me into taking a few free hands. Argh. And that Player run went on 4 more hands so I would have ended the session right then ahead over seventy large. And that's why I don't like having friends or family at the table with me. Gotta be relentless sometimes in order to win and the real world looks at 20000 differently from the way I do, at least, when I am at the tables.

Whoever invented gambling was smart, whoever invented the casino chip - a genius.

Day 48 play.

Baccarat.

I had one large hand, and then cut my bet drastically and won 14 hands in a row afterwards! When that sort of thing happens, I think of the line from [i]Blow,[i] about moving 300 kilos and making dog shit, which is exactly what I've been making lately on shoes where I've won 10 or more hands in a row. I need to step it up at such times.

What's the matter, George?
Nothing.
I mean...
...aside from the fact that we're moving 300 fucking kilos...
...and we're making dog shit, nothing.

Going on a trip, returning from a trip, with pretty polly pulled from the casinos of Vegas, quite a feeling!
