We went to the Taj, sat at the $25 blackjack table. I was playing 25-50 a hand at first and threw down a few $100-$200 hands and hit blackjack big a few times. My buddy got progressively higher. He started throwing down $50's, then $100's, then $200 and eventually was playing two hands at a time with a single $1000 chip on each. Funny thing is, this is the second time he's done this. Last time he was up $45,000 but lost 17,000 of it and wound up coming home with $28,000. We had some really nice shoes, the dealer was busting all over the place and had an unusually low number of blackjacks. I started out cashing in $200 and never dipped in my pocket or below $400 after that. My buddy started with $1,500.
