el diablo,

even the best PBJ players in the world go on bad downswings like this.

even the best players do not play there A game when running bad, and suboptimal play can further inrease your losses.

some people may think that is the case here with you staying on 16 with a dealer showing a 9. but you made the right read that he had a little one and would be forced to hit.

he sucked out on you. but if you had taken the hit, you would have went bust anyway. this hand was a stone cold cooler, and you couldn't get away from it.

i recommend you save your PBJ bankroll and wait for the release of PPG (party pai gow).

a player of your hand-grouping ability will have a much greater edge in the game, and i suspect you will flourish at the highest of stakes.

good luck,
chuddo.
