went to the poker room last night, long wait for tables so i wait for awhile but get bored and sit at $5 min/$100 max BJ table. figure i will just win a few bucks martingaling (yes i know dumb) before my table gets called.
1st hand -$5 Loss
2nd hand -$10 loss
3rd hand - $15 loss (figured i would get back to even and make smaller bets to get more bets if things go bad)
4th hand- $25 loss (above)
5th hand- $45 loss
6th hand -$100 loss
Can't believe my run on FIRST 6 hands so i move up to $25 min $300 max
7th hand- $200 loss
8th hand- $300 loss
and bye bye bankroll
i lost my first 8 hands, given a 50/50 chance to win (actually only 48% roughly). the odds to loose first 8 are 1/512
maybe i will eventually learn the lesson that playing -ev games is not a good idea no matter how bored i am. Unfortunately I'm a slow learner.
