1)   First and foremost, anything and everything can continue or cease within a shoe;

2)  One unit or two units win and done with virtual bets and then a trigger applied for something that has not appeared or against something that has appeared too many times;

3)  Several things point to something going happen and you become hell-bent on capturing it;

4)  You are wagering against what is actually happening and become hell-bent on continuing to do so until you recover losses and win a bunch of cash;

5)  You cannot adjust your emotional level on the better and larger wins (and losses) as easy as you might believe you can. This is super important and that emotional level will send you into another realm of belief, that you should not be in and one you cannot understand at the table.

Hi alrelax

re: #5--I agree/this one is difficult for both the less-experienced player as well as the multi-year veteran.

Absolutely. You put a multi thousand-dollar bet up there say $4,000 or $5,000 and you win two, three or four of them in a row, your emotional state will be to the hundredth power how you figured it all out.  Then subconsciously you just know inside of yourself you can do another 10, 15 or 20 and you're seeing hundreds of thousands of dollars of win money.
