Visualization and the attempt for a definitive goal.

Extremely dangerous and the wrong frame-of-mind.  I remember back a bit ago, I was chastised strongly for using the term, Frame-of-Mind so often.  But you know what, the frame-of-mind is probably the best way to overall surmise the decision-making ability and results of the player in so many ways. 

Visual, greed, experience, knowledge, desires and many other things enter each of our minds, through emotions and thinking when we sit down.  Buy in and seeing our risk capital on the table, spread out and being exchanged for chips.  The chips that we will wager without much real thought each time, in the hopes and desires to get more chips returned to us.  Unlike taking that same cash and laying it up on a sales counter or handing it to someone for a product or a service we feel is a fair value or we need.  We already thought about the product or service, researched the best place to purchase it or knew where that was already, then went there and physically handed our cash over to them and received what we were satisfied with, was a correct transaction in our favor.  How come most of us does not do the same thing at the baccarat table? 

Step back, look, half way cut what you expect, then rationalize out in the favor to discount the reality, the truth, and more because the reality and the truth is what will actually contradict your beliefs.  Your beliefs have little to do with the presentments and what you will profit from at the baccarat table.  Sure, many will write on the internet, just do so and so and you must prevail and if not, just reset and continue.  Pure 100% rubbish, sorry.  I am sure that statement will get me even more hated, but I talk and write reality, pure reality which for the most of us is extremely hard to face and digest. 

So, you change them.  You must.  It is the only way to truly see what can and cannot be done at the baccarat table.  I have done so also.  It was not easy, but I know I did.  At least 85% to 95% of the time.  Sometimes I fail, but I attempt to do better and have the frame-of-mind that will allow me to be 100% conscious and non-biased to anything at the table.  To me, that is the only way to prevail more than fail.  At times the reality overwhelms you and you still cannot see what you need to see. 

Maybe I am wrong?  Maybe I am not?  But I do know I walk away with more than I lose most times and the times I lose, it is strictly risk capital and I am never attempting or must make up the funds in the recouping frame-of-mind to stay whole.  Once you do, you have failed with little chance to come back.  Like I said, for many, reality sucks.

If you believe something, even if not scientific, mathematical or historically correct---is it wrong?  Even if it is scientific, mathematical or historically correct and you believe the opposite---is it right?

Reality will supersede any factual results no matter what they are, no matter how accurate they are or were performed, no matter whom performed them and how much money was spent in the testing, research and study. 

Say you are a male by the medical and scientific definition.  However, you believe you are a female, so you act, live and portray being a female.  Is that wrong?  Is the medical and scientific definition of a male wrong also? 

You believe it, but others probably will not be convinced, based upon their own visual factors and beliefs.  As well, the visual factor can and does influence those looking at you depending upon your presentment and appearance.  The same with a shoe of Baccarat in many of the same ways.   

And the visual onlooking will present itself in varying ways to different people, for both things mentioned above.
