Feeling the pressure
Sage is right. You're paying for your spot. As I've said before my favorite answer is "There's plenty of tables I'm not playing at".

Positive Progressive is working for me overall
Hi Nickles, glad to see you're back here also. Always appreciated your comments/thoughts. Well, I hope to get up there Wednesday or so, after a very (VERY) down session last time. Like I said, everything changes! Oh, and seriously, has the …

I've never played two hands, so I'll let the more knowledgable folks here answer that. As far as the second question, do a search on this site for threads about "quit points". Walter has made some very good points about this top…

True, but the chance of this happening at the bottom of the prog is exactly the same. That can occur anywhere. Don't get me wrong, it has happened to me at the last progression bet, and sure, it hurts. But also a sucessful double at the firs…

FWIW, here's my take on progressions. Some of you might remember that I like progressions. I don't live and die by them, or swear they're the one way to win, but I do think they have their place. In some cases. I know the argument…

** Very Cool Blackjack strategy **
Always obvious when a first post claims absurd winnings, then links to a site to buy the method. Gimme a break and stop wasting my time and bandwidth. Credit for tryin' though.

Advantaged Player Longevity
A very good question, one that I'm also concerned with. In my area I have two relatively close, and try to alternate, twice a week between the two. But I wonder how familiar I've become. (BTW, I don't count, but I don't want my…

BJ near NYC
As a CT resident I am partial to Mohegan. Foxwoods just seems too "stodgy" and dull. I know that's not a requisite for earning some money, but it's nice to feel good in the atmosphere you're playing in. Having said that, …

Where to sit
My standard reply is "there's plenty of tables where I'm not playing at". And then do your best to ignore the ignorance.

Ray said:The IRS would have a hard time proving that you won 10-15K. Nail on the head. If I remember right, from a book on casinos and IRS I read a few years ago (forget the title) that is exactly the reason. And the casinos instigated it. They…

Losing and loving it

NJ Attempting to Ban Casino Smoking
I remember talk of this happening in Connecticut, but as the two casinos here are on Indian land they are exempt from this (in my personal opinion) nonsense.

Making a living with Online Casinos
I'm not advocating online casinos at all, I find it hard to trust what's not physically in front of me, but just a side note/observation that continuous shuffling would have little or no effect on progressions. John (ducking)

Congrats! Nice to see numbers like that. Think I will hold off until the beginning of January. Just too hectic until then. Time to woodshed for a few weeks! J

Progression Play Trip Report
N&B, was this at Mohegan? I was leery of going this week. I understand they had a big Asian themed weekend (from what I've read this is a sort of traditional weekend for casino play) and I just figured the crowds would be too much. What…

circle of 13
Most reference books cite the "circle of 13" as an obscure and unidentified satanic cult that through the use of spells and incantations were able to rake in hundreds of thousands from the Sands in Vegas in the mid-sixties. Some of the in…

THE MOVIE WITH MICHAEL IMPERIOLI AS STU UNGAR
Also, I just checked Netflix, and they have no listing of this at all, even under Imperioli's catalog. Not even a release date. Too bad, this looks good. They did however have the other flick mentioned (Owning Malowny) and I ordered that. B…
