blackjack has been absolutely destroying me this week.

Every session this week has felt like swimming upstream. Feels like I’m sticking to the book, but can’t catch a break - dealer keeps flipping those face cards at the worst moments, then somehow pulls a 21 out of nowhere whenever I stand on 20. I’m usually pretty solid about playing slow, small bets, not chasing, but this stretch is making me rethink even my best routines.

I mostly play shoe games and avoid the side bets, but it doesn’t seem to matter what table I pick lately. Anyone else ever get into a rut where it just feels impossible to win, even when you’re not making wild calls? Trying to figure out if it’s just a cold streak or if I’m missing something obvious - what do you usually do when it feels like blackjack is out to get you?
