Doubling your bet is a fallacy. Eventually, the house wins because of the better odds. The problem is, it's quite easy to get into a 6 or 7 hand losing streak. If we start at $5, you're quickly up to betting $320 or $640 to break even. I hope you brought at least $1K with you, and are you willing to bet $1280 if you lose that 7th hand?

Are you willing to double-down, split those 8's, etc?
