My echeck canceled, thus bringing my PP account to 0(didnt lose any money either though). I reload by using Neteller/visa, which worked but i reloaded with less. So far,
BR: 72$(+8)
Now i have to play NL.4, and grind my way up. Should be fun.
So far i had barely no action, playing tight following grot's advices, exception for this single hand

His response cracked me up badly '' HOW CAN U CALL''. For me it was so obvious he didnt have an ace. His response was priceless.
-----------------Counting-----------------
Even though this site is about poker, i will use this blog to store my Blackjack counting situation. Two weeks ago i spoke with a friend about casino's which got me interested again in card counting. I knew how it works but i had actually never practiced.
I decided to give it a shot, learning the blackjack basic strategy by heart(how to play ur hands) is the first thing, which i rapidly learned in 2 days. The basic strategy is essential, and without it counting is nothing. Using Basic strategy, the house usually has a .60% edge over me. However, with successful card counting i can make the edge to 1%-2% in my favor.
Card counting works on the basis that certain cards are good for u and some are bad. You assign minus values to cards u want(because when u see them played, it gives u less chance to catch those cards later on, thus we give them negative values when we see them). We give cards we dont want positive values, because when we see them, its likely that were not going to get them soon after this hand.
Using a basic counting system, known as the HI-LO, i practiced for 5 days, until i was able to count a deck in 25 seconds minimum. Through free BJ simulators on internet, i sharpened my count and decided to hit the Local casino, with a hundred dollars.
To my suprise, the minimum bet there was 15$, thus allowing me to play 7 hands.That meant i could only play when the count was extremely high.
So for the first hour, i backcounted(counting the cards but not playing). I was able to keep track with the dealers, including the extremely fast one. After this hour, i decided to give it a shot.
For the next 3 hours, i walked around tables, counting, and when it was good, i bet, won and left because the count got crappy.
In 3 hours - +70$
BJ BR:170$
I left the casino feeling fairly good, quite happy with how things turned. Still my BR is incredibly tiny and the minimum bet is an overbet to my BR. Hopefully my count will stay sharp and i will keep getting the cards...
