Hi Blue Nile:

No, I didn't cut my session short at El Cortez because of heat. I felt after 15-20 minutes of progression betting, the lady pitster was satisfied I was no threat, and ignored me from then. I changed tables and started drawing better cards, and now betting with the count.[at this point I was down $50 out of my $100 buy in]. I won back the $50 plus another $80 and, after @ 50 minutes, felt it was time to quit.
