Macau in March, day 2.

As usual, I couldn't sleep well and woke up after 2 hours of sleep.

Hmm, I wonder how to sleep well in Macau.

Once I woke up, I felt like I was already in a casino.

I quickly got ready and tried my luck at baccarat.

As usual, I bet 1000 on P at the first table I saw.

P A A

B Picture 5

Hmm, it's tough.

When I narrowed down the third P...

4 sides... no good

Following on from yesterday, I lost my luck test.

Don't worry, I'll save my luck and get going!

I moved to Studio City, my main battlefield, and started with BJ.

I sat at a table with a min 300.

And then...

There was no super strong dealer and no burst festival mode, so I played happily, but my chips didn't change.

I took a short break with 3-card poker.

I got a few flushes and straights and made a small profit.

Now, it's time for another BJ.

This time, I win more and my chips increase.

Great, this is great.

Feeling good, I left Studio City and headed to the Venetian.

Today, the Venetian was packed with people, people, people, people...

Somehow, I managed to sneak into an empty seat at the 500 BJ and the battle began.

There was no burst festival mode here either, but I steadily won and made a decent profit.

Great!

Let's keep going!

And then,

I started to lose more and gave back the chips I had won.

Damn, am I getting too cocky?

I'll call it a day before I sink too low.

And so, I left the Venetian and headed to COD across the street.

The BJ at COD was...

Three min500 machines and one 2000 machine.

Hmm, 2000? ? ?

I look at the table and see a person sitting with a big, unfamiliar bunch of red chips.

After watching for a while, I see that he is betting over 10,000 HKD at once.

I see, he has his min and max increased and is betting on a high amount of money.

One day, that person bets 16,000.

The cards dealt are 8 8.

The dealer is a 6.

He adds 16,000 and splits!

He gets a 2, adds another 16,000 and doubles!

A 5 comes, making a total of 15.

Another 8, then a 3, and doubles for another 16,000!

A 6 comes, making a total of 17.

The dealer draws a 6.

The person shouts, "Cone!!!"

A 5 comes out, making it 21!!!

16,000 x 4 = 64,000 disappears in bubbles.

Scary, scary!

That's what BJ has...

With splits and doubles, you need a maximum of 8 times your initial bet.

When it's that big a gamble, it's exciting and fun, but if you lose, the damage is big.

I can't count the number of times I've been betrayed by the dealer's upcards of 5 and 6.

But when you win, it feels great...

Intimidated by this guy's high-value bets, I ended up not playing COD.

I played a little on the slots and went back to the Conrad Hotel.

I ended the second day with a slight profit.

I'll keep going like this for the next two days.
