I see it all the time, most every session when I pay attention to others playing falling into the various traps of the game.  Like to share some things I believe in now.  Many changed my play and thinking for the better, clearly held winnings because of and improved some of my deficiencies and negatives without a doubt!

The 22 Things I Believe Will Help Us:

1)  It's not what you say or think to others outside of the casino that determines your game. It's what you tell yourself with your chips in your hand at the table, that has the greatest power upon yourself and your decision making process;

2)  Your goal should not be to get rid of all of your negative thoughts and beliefs-that is impossible! Your goal is to change your response to them and be conscious of them while you are at the table playing;

3)  Be absolutely conscious that you alone get to choose what to wager, not wager and how to progress with positive or negative wagering. Attempt not to follow the crowd with camaraderie, unless you are far into a win status;

4)  The five words that so many decline to believe. IT IS WHAT IT IS. Accept that, learn from it and grow into greater and better beliefs and play with what you do. What truly matters is, that you do (accept it) from the instant time on; 

5)  Stop beating yourself up. You are a work in progress. That means you will get there a little bit at a time, not all at once. Simple. Factual. And that will never ever change;

6)  Do your best, adopt a 'Whatever Happens, Happens' mindset. Do not attempt to force large wins, make up wins, etc. etc.;

7)  Your most powerful weapon against emotions, frustrations and stress, is your ability to choose. Train your mind to see the good you have done or the good that is waiting for you to capture. Put all of the bad, sad and evil aside, as you cannot think about those at the table. What I said here is extremely important IMO;

-8-  Your most rewarding and important moment in your game is, when you finally find the consciousness to let go of what you cannot change or capture within the shoe and the session;

9)    You have to let go of all the senseless drama, time wasting events and purposeless clutter that keeps getting up in your way. You realize it is time to focus on what truly matters and governs your bank roll, buy-ins, losses and wins;

10)  You must notice and appreciate the present moment at the table, all the time, with true consciousness and clear interpretation of what is in front of you;

11)  Show yourself you can grow and get better. You have to think and process decisions without competing with others or because of what someone else said or does. In the end it's just You Vs. You;

12)  Remember, believe and be conscious of not hearing only what you want to hear. LISTEN to what you DO NOT want to hear also;

13)  Learn how to gracefully walk away from situations that threaten your 'peace of play', your self-respect, your values, your morals and your buy-in and/or win amount.  (IF YOU CANNOT-YOUR DONE!);

14)  You have to be conscious of what you cannot control within a game, within a shoe or within a session. When you realize that, you will realize that you have the consciousness to change the things you cannot control within your play. And, that changes everything for the better;

15)  Realize you cannot start each shoe with broken pieces of another. So many people do and that throws off the highest majority with their decision making process in my opinion. Begin again and allow the pace to set itself with you being conscious of it. Do not apply fake hopes to the game in front of you. If you do, you set yourself up for disaster the highest majority of the times;

16)  If you are winning and winning handsomely, look around. Be totally conscious and realize nothing last forever.  (SO SIMPLE, YET THE HIGHEST OF THE HIGHEST MAJORITY BELIEVES THEY CAN CONTINUE THEIR WINNING EVERY-TIME!);

17)  Remember you cannot hold on to any form of wagering while playing the game of baccarat. Nothing is permanent. When you truly understand this, you can do almost anything you desire because you are not holding on to anything any longer;

18)  You have to realize and ingrain in yourself, that everything in the game gets a bit uncomfortable especially when it's time to change. Things will get better, be patient;

19)  Be totally mindful without frustration and other emotions, that you are not in control of the way a shoe presents its hands;

20)  You will become a true master of the game of baccarat, when you learn how to master your focus, as well as where your attention goes (meaning, actually applying it). When you master what you give your energy to and why, you change your game for a huge advantaged play;

21)  Realize patience is a genuine expression of confidence, experience, knowledge, positiveness and faith in your own abilities with the game of baccarat. It is a true sign of strength. Practice it and be conscious of it;

22)  Do not wait too long to take meaningful action. Take responsibility and control. Do not sit around looking for Holy Grails that will magically give you a triggered mechanical wager to always win in Baccarat. There are no such things existing, never has been and never will be.

CONCLUSION:  Understand what a Bankroll (BR) is, what a Buy-In (BI) is and develop a Money Management Method (MMM) that gives you advantages. Be conscious of what is truly important in the game with beliefs, presentments, statistics, decision making, understanding consciousness, sections, equalization  and other factors. Learn what focus really is and how to apply focus with your decision making process while leaving say-so and falsities aside.

Most of all, find your Level and Plateau of play, while applying yourself on and in those two with complete consciousness while playing.
