1. Losing 5500 in 3 hours betting 2x200 is about a 1.5% probability using the trip ruin widget on CVCX. (If you play perfectly despite being mega-tilted about the "rigged" holiday weekend.)
2. If you want to prove to us that the holiday weekends are actually rigged, show us weekend logs with total results in the bottom 0.01% and pass a 1000-hand test on casino verite. If you can do both of those things I'll pay you $1000
Or you could just skip all these rigged holiday weekends if you really believe they're rigged.
3. You definitely have some kind of mood problem. If you don't like big pharma, there are some natural supplements that can sometimes help with mood: fish oil, vitamin D, creatine, St. John's Wort, Zembrin
4. Don't shit on button pushers. EV is EV. A lot of slot plays are not obvious.
5. Until you're richer than Bill Benter, you don't get to call yourself the Best To Ever Do It. Unless by "It" you mean a very specific form of AP that involves only solo counting shoes on the strip and measuring results in max bets instead of dollars. Even at that, there might be some old timers who've won more than you. Tommy Hyland's been making a living counting for many decades.
6. You don't need to be the Best To Ever Do It to prove your father wrong about calling you a failure or whatever. You're not a failure. Most wannabe APs crash and burn and go back to their day jobs. You're living the dream compared to a lot of people.
Nice post and welcome McDuck. Not sure if you intend to sick around or not, but welcome.
A couple thoughts if I may. In response to ZK's "
I am the greatest" rants, I always say the best card counter was probably some dude from the 80, that no one has ever even heard of. Just did his thing, made his monet and that was it. Best now, probably similar, some dude, that doesn't post anywhere, proabably not a Vegas exclusive player because there are so many better games elsewhere, so he probably just travels around playing keeping a low profile.
Also, I know of a number of players like myself that started with a really small BR (barely 5 figures
or under) and had to spend their first year or two building that up before they could even get started. Zenking showed up in Vegas with a BR better than 50k. That is an advantage many of us didn't have. So he sort of was able to skip the minor league and jump right to the major leages. I don't fault him for that, but on the otherhand, don't tell me you are the best until you have survived that low limit, BR building process that knocks many players out. No short cuts.
On an unrelated note: I stopped at 3 stores on the strip towards the end of my day today. Won 2 sessions, Lost one, but the losing session was bigger than the wins, so that part of my day didn't net much in winnings or EV. the problem wasn't casinos cheating during a holiday weekend (that is in his mind). The problem is crowded conditions and very slow moving games because of crowded conditions (and side bets). The very reason, I don't stop at the strip more often. Better opportunities elsewhere.
Don't know if it hit 100 degrees today but was close. Rest of the week is supposed to be 100+ with a couple 105's mid week. It is too hot to go through the hassle of playing the strip, parking, walking, just to find a game that is crowded and moves slow and hard to make much money.
