Fast session. I lost a 100 in about 2 hrs.

It was 6 dks, peneration pretty good, hit soft 17, and split Aces only once. etc.

The table started at 10$ went to 15 and then 25. I was up 80 but lost 4-20's in about 7 hands. A soft dd and I got a 20 and lost that too. Bummer. A bad run.
No entry fee. Lots of tables , but plently of players. A guy(ploppy) stayed on a 6 or soft 16. Lots of bad play.

The dealers were good and nice.

By counting was terrible and distracted and went with some feeling.

Bad place

Actually Chicago and Indiana are pretty bad in general for AP play. I have never seen good pen at the Grand Victoria. What do you consider good pen? Personally I think it is a total waste of time to try and make a buck there. If you are in it for the fun that is another thing but for us workers we pretty much stay clear if we are playing solo. With six deck excellent pen is a MUST and even then you need a big spread. Like at least 12-1 and if it is 25 min you are looking at $300 top bet. You need at least 100 top bets to survive the swings. Are you playing on a $30K (present and future) bankroll? Good Luck!

What a dump. It's a big dump, but a dump nonetheless. I gave up playing their game years ago. The tables are too crowded, the pen is mediocre at best, and the place smells like one big ashtray. Downstairs is non-smoking with no blackjack. Forget it.
