But the more sessions I play in a day, the more opportunities I have to give back profits.
Doing pretty well without doubling down too. I haven't found many missed opportunities by not doubling. I suppose it's all cyclical though.

Doubling down and splitting is where you make your $$$ in blackjack.
I play about once a week at a casino in the northeast, usually for 6-8 hours a session at a $25 minimum table. I employ basis strategy 100% of the time, with the only variance being surrender/no surrender when I have a 16 against a dealer 10 (I very rarely surrender, but will if the dealer is having a hot shoe).
I'm probably up a couple hundred for the year, but I've had some real bad runs (we're talking losing a grand or so betting straight $25 units in just an hour).
But I'm of the opinion that you HAVE to be aggressive in your double downs. My winning days occur if I hit a decent amount of 11s or 10s, or soft hands.
