Stop burying your head in the sand and looking the other way!!  We have all done it; myself, you and all others playing the game of baccarat. We all have said/say, "get it back tomorrow", "next time", or "later today", etc.  Each and every single one of us.

You should award yourself time to reflect your play, your decisions, your results, your experiences  playing, and more. There is NO COST to do this and all it can ultimately do, is add a bit of advantage to your play. 

If you do, you will add important and hopefully "mindful holding" experiences to your play. Remember False Hopes-False Confidence and Blindness are added to your decision making process because, lack of factual experience and consciousness (you literally drum into yourself) related to experience is causing you confusion—while falling prey to the downfall of the game. 

*  IDENTIFY what you have done with your session.  Example:  Win, Lose, Drawdowns, Buy-in, Cashout, Number of hands/shoes played, etc.

*  INDENTFY why you took the course of action you did.  Example:  Decisions because of patterns/trends, guessing, following others, dealer enticements,  statistic belief, etc. 

*  INDENTIFY what events were conscious with pre-thought and which ones were not.  At least the larger wins and loss events.  Simply, if you consciously thought about it or not and the reasons why.

*  INDENTIFY what you should have done to reverse the negativity that you engaged in.  Take a step outside of yourself and your play to accurately be able to identify those plays you lost at.  Specifically write out the emotions, frustrations and stress you had as well. 

Writing It Out.  Sit down and write a report or a  series of notes, identifying your answers to the above four areas. You cannot reverse or resolve unless you are able to reflect the proper way.

If you do, you will be adding advantage to your play, IMO.
