So much going on here I feel like I need a vacation! Sheesh... I went shopping on Saturday to get a desk, chair, TV Stand, and a television (I failed on the TV search....) and a miserably failed search for a small black dresser... I think I am giving up on that search. I can live out of a suitcase until I get my own place and a full bedroom suite. How hard is it when you only have boxers, socks, and T-shirts and everything else is hung up in the closet.
Saturday I was so tired I went to bed early and then didn't get up until late on Sunday and hit the Rio for a few hours of suck-out city poker. It really wasn't my day but a few good hands of Blackjack and I finished up 17 dollars overall... WHEE! Maybe I need to take Sundays off now as well.
Monday is my day off from school (my choice), and I hung around the house watched the Braves game, caught up on some documentation for WACA and relaxed a little. I then headed over to South Coast for the 7 PM tournament arriving around 5:30 since signups start at 5. It turns out I was WAY to early and they only had 27 people for the tournament. I hit the blackjack table to play some doubledeck blackjack and managed to run 200 into 450 in a little over an hour, and then hit the tourney. I kept running into bigger hands iwth my hands and folding smartly but was getting whittled down. I finally hit an Open ended straight draw on the button and get check/raised all-in for 900 more (start with 2000). I decide I don't want to play short stack poker and am either going to get a good chip stack or go out. So I call, and miss and am out of the tourney 20 minutes in.
Head back over to the Blackjack tables and run that 450 from earlier into a grand in about 75 minutes, get a buffet comp, cash out and go eat at the Steak Buffet they have on Monday nights.
At this point it is only 9 PM so I decide to check out the brand new room at the Venetian. This is a GORGEOUS casino and even better poker room... Wow is it nice. talk about luxury. The dealers need some work, the floor is mediocre... but boy can they decorate. 2 hours of poker and I am up 100 so decide to call it a night. Up 800 from blackjack, up 100 from the Ventian, down 120 at Video Poker (maybe I should give up the Video Poker dream), and 60 from the tournament for a nice 720 dollar profit for the day. Not bad for watching the braves game, and lounging around the house most of the day.

Do you ever lose at blackjack?
Whats your system, because even when I do some simple counting and play correctly (though I'm rusty on some of the marginal situations) yet I still lose half the time.
This is Ryan btw, ryanjones79@yahoo.com
Yeah I do lose on occasion like last night. I tend to lose the most when I am playing tired and annoyed and bet out of my bankroll.
As for a system... there isn't onoe. I tend to try to play alone against the dealer, and play smart and pay attention. Even in a 6 or 8 deck shoe you can get some trends. And if you can find a double deck, 3 to 2 BJ, Double any, Split 4, Double after split game... Then you can even count the deck and shift it in your favor.
