OT: Blackjack sucks

citanul · #1 11-15-2005, 02:42 AM

For the third time in the last 2 weeks, I played a nice session of poker, made a few dollars, and then promptly went on blackjack tilt and gave it all back. It's very odd, as I don't do stupid things while playing blackjack or other table games live, and I don't tilt when playing poker. But for some reason I find myself following near martingale practices when I play blackjack online.

If anyone hasn't removed the blackjack and sidebet icons from their computers, I highly recommend it, as I know I'm not the only person who's blown significant chunks in this fashion.

I wish the lesson had been cheaper,

Stop being dumb...stop it.

Ill bring dice out next time if you insist on gambling your loot away. I often get a nice game going on 28th and madison.

If you're gonna go on tilt, it's much more fun to tilt on poker. It's funny as hell when you suck out on someone and they go balistic.

yeah, that's basically exactly what i have to tell myself.

also, it should be known that the way that I entirely eliminated my poker tilt in one day was by saying "stop being dumb," and from taht moment on, no more tilt. so hopefully now i've gotten rid of the blackjack too.

drinks later this week or something?

If the dealer had to hit/stand first, BJ would rock. Sklansky's book on blackjack is pretty good.

Not talking about law school is always the first step to ensuring a good time....no prob by me.

No organization necessary...Ill pm whoever, but whoever reads this is welcome...you have any ideas for locales? Or you want me to hit "I'm feeling lucky" on city search again...
