How much in your opinion does some one need as lifetime bankroll and what do you mean does not having the balls, does that has to do with some one that been trying to win two in a row chicken out when he or she has to Wager 1000 units for each trail twice ...

Are you saying that a staking plan should have a recovery mode or do you say all selection methods should have a grind option to recoup?

Cheers


For my style a thousands units bankroll is sufficient. But yeah, most cats don't have the stones to handle progressions busts. Some cats can't even handle going deep in the progression ladder. But most cats are risk avers and that's why they can't or won't pony up the bankroll to play and win, hey hey.

I've told you I do, have done so for many years.  Ok, how am I suppose to confirm, collect, what evidence do you require without me revealing all my personal details?   I get it though, by the sheer number of people I have shared a table with in the last decade, 99% of them treat it as entertainment, win, lose, get upset, be happy, go home.  So I can fully understand anybody playing this game being sceptical, because most struggle.

I accept your wager, how much we talking, what needs to be done to prove it?  Just to let you know, I do understand where you are coming from, you've struggled and don't believe anybody else can pull it off.  I've felt that way at the tables many many times, it's takes a lot of patience, buckets of it.  It drives me up the wall sometimes, yet this it what it takes to be able to pull it off, patience and self-control, especially when it seems each time to bet Banker the Player pulls a natural straight off the bat, yeah once or twice I can handle.  Often when I've got one foot out the door and I'm cursing like a MF, that is when you dig deep inside and relax.     


You can prove it by coming to my place and I will deal to you.  I'll put up a chip tray matched with a BR that you can chase.  You get to keep all your winnings and free Guiness and cashews or whatever.
The main skills I use to beat the casino are ignorance and confidence, it amazingly works just like Mark Twain said it would.

Show me a happy loser and I'll show you a loser!

Mars is the God of War btw, and I'm at war with the casino.

I was being sarcastic.  Very new, playing with no money, playing with no sleep, playing under massive pressure from my 'day job' - already playing pro level.  Getting prepared to say WTF and get out and start playing only. There is no in the long run.  Every hand has risk.  Every hand important.  How many times have we all lined up on a side and gotten rolled?

Stay in the pocket and play hard.  Your bank roll is a key asset and applying it correctly and being able to muscle your play with it are important (For example I made one very, very, very crappy big bet last night/ this morning that looked like a totally for sure and I got smoked.  Made a ton of mistakes missing high payout bet wins.  Did some fine tuning that is working).

Win and variance out.  It doesn't happen then set a cut point and the houses never close.

The game is dangerous, be careful.  The largest majority and I mean most all of the players--will win and then give it back and chase, chase, chase for the win again. 

The game is extremely easy at times and then on the flip side, extremely hard.  The spots that appear to be easy wins or so difficult to capture and then the hard ones appear to be the correct ones. 

I was playing last night, couldn't win anything, nothing.  Caught about 2 out of 10 and then re-grouped, the same thing.  Play for the cut and it is all repeating.  Play for the repeats and it was all cuts.  Wagered 10 times straight on the Fortune 7 and then stop and the very next hand, Fortune 7. 

Last Wednesday night, won everything I tried, like 8 out of 10.  Hit 5 Fortune 7's in 2 shoes for $25 and $50 each. 

Keep the career, the pressure will be a lot less.  Everyone I know that ever tried it went broke several times over.

I know... Some nights are butter and others are more like this, and you can go butter to this very quickly:

Last night my max P&L was within the first hour or so and undisclosed serious X hours later I finished up less than $100 after going pretty deep.  If you play for quite a while and the P&L is not advancing, it's a good sign to stop for that session.

Also, if you sense a bad vibe at the table that doesn't bode well.  It pays being with a good bunch.

People have a huge tendency to play against themselves.  Experience will teach them that, sometimes their gut and hunches are strong indicators of what will happen. 

The problem for many, is just that they temporally park their brain and ability to rationalize things out at the table. 

I am touching on this problem in a thread within my Blog.  I do believe that most players can overcome this problem once they have conscious knowledge of their wins/losses, etc.

Yes.  Playing against yourself with bigger and bigger bets is.... Poison

Holding on to gains and making more win off of that is very important vs. going back down.  A starter approach for holding on to gains is to stop right after.  For example, you follow your way into a good progression where you chalk up a very high win percentage.  All of a sudden you're up a lot.  Stop or set a very tight stop.

Last night two attempts at pushing ahead failed and very quickly I gave back a good amount.  Super stoked to get on a strong Bank shoe, press a couple plays with a group and I'm out having almost achieved the high water mark.

If you go on a run that's typically at the high end or above your typical play that should scream attention to focus on keeping it.

Concentration.  This election has burned up a lot of energy and I am working to disengage from news and rest.  Last night I could not connect and I skipped a snack which sent me into a time where I couldn't focus.  Opportunity was popping off everywhere I was one step behind.

Clear mind, stomach satisfied (not overly stuffed and not growling for some grub), no alcohol.  Don't pay attention to the phone.  Anyone at the table you really detest, don't sit down or completely tune them out 100%. Something with dealers.  If you have a known 'dealer cooler' avoid them or sit it out. 

Then it is time to play.
