    Online? Hello no! lol

    I went with a friend to play blackjack today. Walked in with $100. Walked out with $1,860 in just over an hour. I swear that I could do no wrong in that game today. I was betting huge when it hit, and small when it didn't. I was making wild bets with two hands at a time. For instance, I once bet $10 on the hand to my right, and $110 on the hand to my left. The hand to my right lost, and the one on my left hit blackjack! It was nuts.

    The last 20 minutes or so, the casino was really watching me. I had two dealers focusing on me alone, 2 pit bosses, and I'm sure at least a dozen cameras. My betting patterns was telling them that I was a counter.

    It was so freaking funny to watch the workers trying to figure me out. I had a blast!

    :)

    Spam? Me? Never! Well.... not in DP anyways. :p

    I have been asking myself that all night. What am I going to do? I know I want to invest $200 into a site for links. I want to put some of it on Full Tilt (I'm a poker junkie). As far as the rest, I don't know yet.

    :)

    Thanks mate! It is my lucky day. Our big lottery here (the Powerball) has a drawing tomorrow. I think I will spend $20 or so on it. Now that would be a real score!!

    :p

    You like poker as well, I used to play heaps and once won a pacific poker free roll (well 2nd/2K) and won like $5 but soon lost it after. I might get back into it one day.

    Oh yeah. I play on Stars, but been wanting to buy in on Full Tilt.

    My claim to fame on Stars is that I was one away from a World Series Of Poker Main Event package last year. It was a 4k fpp freeroll. The final two got the package (worth around $12k). I was the chip leader from the final 3 tables until we got three handed. The next one out got nothing. Long story short, I had over pairs cracked 3 times in a row to go busto. So sick!!!

    2k? Nice!!! Did you lose it all, or did you pull out some? I have lost more than I care to admit to. I really only make $ live, but don't get to go very often. My Dad and I take a few poker trips every year.

    :)

    Blackjack can be a lot of fun to play but it can get out of hand too. Your best bet is to take your winnings and treat yourself to something special, a gift or something like that. Betting again with your winnings is a losing bet.

    Tomorrow probably won't be a lucky day huh? lol Probably true. :)

    It is so fun. Yeah, I have friends that have lost more than most folks make in years.

    I have been so lucky with blackjack. I have been playing it for over 20 years. I am up a lot on it, but I don't go very often. Maybe once a month, or two, or three. I only bring $100 ( I can lose that and feel no pain), I am ready to leave when I am up $200, and I only make a real run (like today) if everything just feels like "magic".

    So fun!!

    :p
