$400 or $0. A very bad double down on 11 against the dealer's 10
There was $200 on the balance. I sat down at a VIP blackjack table where the limits start at $50. I put $90 on the main hand and $5 on the side bets - I can never hit them at these tables. They dealt me a 6, and the dealer had a face-up 10. I hit on 16 - lucky, I got a 4, and the dealer busted. I won $180, even though I took a risk.
On the next hand I bet $100 and left the same amount on the balance. Although I didn’t plan to double - my count was 11, and the hand itself reached for a double. I got a 3 - so the count was 14. Well that’s it, gamba, I thought. But very lucky, and the dealer busted.

Like griC@, risk is a noble thing, CONGRATULATIONS!
And the dealer “krasava” helped win.
In BJ, nothing makes us as happy as the dealer busting!)
Pure upstreak: the decisions were borderline, but it held up thanks to the dealer busting. Double on 11 - ok, but the second card didn’t come, just got lucky. Important not to overrate sessions like that - over the long run those spots are more often punished.
