I never start with more than $100. I was up about $500 a few weeks ago at NYNY with some girls that were visiting from out of town. They wanted to drink and my friend & I wanted to play. So, we left them at the bar & after about an hour, one of the girls comes up to me during an extremely hot roll & rubs up against me & asks me how much I'm up. Boom - just like that I hit a 7 & lose about 150 that's on the table - all presses from previous rolls. After that, the dealer next to me actually jokingly (but seriously) asked her what the hell her problem was and to never ask a man how much he's up (she was wasted) and it was a pretty amusing interaction between the two after that.
