Dear Alrelax,

It's sad to hear that you won't be posting Baccarat knowledge as you use too since there is a conflict of interest with "Tabone". 
I just wanted to let you know that you have immensely change my perspective on the game of Baccarat and have impacted me beneficially ever since I started reading your post several months ago.  I started winning again after reading and learning from your general forum. For that I thank you, as no system will ever be more valuable than experience and wisdom. 

Mentally I am much stronger with increase conscious awareness of my emotion when playing Baccarat which prevent me from going on tilt or imploding my Bankroll.  I feel a lot more in control of my game with proper stop loss if the shoe is not going my way.

Thanks again and I hope you continue to post good viable knowledge on bet selection and not let a few other members get the best of you.

Sincerely,
GrindUDown

There has been a determination on the recent contributions by some members and there ghost posting.  alrelax is right on the money 100 with insights which are very relevant and the true battleground for experienced players.  I too am working on these aspects of the game and a lot of it has to do with self-imposed pressure.

It is staggering that in a competitive economy where most people believe and act in a manner where more money is better that so many here believe it is perfectly plausible for someone who is unintelligent as rocks with the worst starting point in life can fight their way into a multi-hundred million dollar pro ball contract against staggering odds, but players can't win at baccarat IN THE LONG RUN OF COURSE.

backudos, dead on about the Derived Roads.  Most players don't even know what they signify, much less how to ride their double edge.

I really like the video because, although I may have a view towards the strike rates cited and posting this thread in this way according to site rules, Derived Roads are money.  You should check with this site's directors and you can discuss a sponsored section.

Glen, there never was.

That's nonsense.  Do you even play with real money?

I don't care if I am banned for life on this site ON ALL fronts, but this Stephen Tabone cat and all his fake alias accounts will take this site faster to the bottom than the ice berg that the Titanic smacked.  He is an insult to baccarat players and all his c r a p accounts and c r a p posts and c r a p commentary should be deleted.  Right now there are diligent casino staff all around the world away from there family and friends at insane hours to offer baccarat.  And there are baccarat players around the world playing their heart out to win and play professionally AND NOBODY IS USING YOUR C R A P.

It is so transparent what this s h i t for brains is doing.   You're lucky you're in England, Stephen.  VERY LUCKY.  This must stop.

alrelax is noting straight diamonds on here nonstop.   

Last night there were anti-cooler dealers and anti-cooler players leading the way to victory.  The strength of the pack is the wolf and the strength of the wolf can be the pack if you need it to be.  Everything he mentions about observation and we can see in the casino environment is so true.

Hi 21;

Have you checked this method out for learning a new language ?
http://www.pimsleur.com/

Thanks! - I have heard of it and will check.  For now playing as most of the Pacific Rim is repped, Google Translate, watching soap operas on YouTube, and waiting for this:

Also want, want, want a Shazam app for Asian music, but it's DJ mixes so even QQ Music isn't picking it up and I can't read Chinese.

Back to subject, maybe 2-3++ nights a week NOT playing.  If you want 3 to not miss, definitely suggest rolling Friday through Sunday.  And maybe outside activities that are much different can be good or something similar.  Depends.

Yes.  I feel pretty bad because I have been unwinding for a good amount after lately or we are really screwing around and then another player goes on a big negative progression or counters a developing trend and they get slammed.  Literally can happen anytime to anyone if you don't play tight.

But pretty much it is so open.  There are players and even staff noting certain things that are way out there.  The house is mostly watching out for confrontational things.  I saw one player last night get super pissed at a floor manager, but not sure why.  Another apparently was inquired about on mistaken chips which can be a very bad situation.  Been a while for player on player altercations.

*** The best thing (which I am required to work on) is some of the nastiest players have been invited to act properly and damn if they don't.  They are some of the best and most well mannered now because they realized that if they want the opportunity to continue, they need to get along with everyone.  And they were very nasty before.   I just always look over and see Bro 1 and Bro 2, etc. just playing the game with 100 focus.  More of the ones that are there every time I am and way more.  Very pleasing actually.

I have a lot of work to do and a short leash, but I am working to be as professional as possible as opposed to jumping in when trouble starts.

No matter what, it pays to have outside interests.  I am set to get proficient in certain foreign languages so I can improve foreign and domestic relations.   

Maybe percent return is the best benchmark.  If you are one who can really hit it out of the park, breaks and forced sessions at much lower bet sizes may be good checks.  A huge problem with a lot of hours playing is that your sense of danger and even the sense of opportunity gets reduced.

It is also very easy to tack on a lot of time to talk with players, dealers, staff, etc. and hang out after playing. 

Yes.  Stadium has its advantages, but I like the down and dirty.  Real dirty.  I think if they permit, you can extract your own parts of down and dirty like having your own corner of the stadium with certain players and a certain style.

The best players at my house will talk with most anyone and play anywhere.  I am shocked so many times I turn around and see Player X and think wow I can't believe it.  They play private in high limit as well, but they choose and very cool about it.

I am still jumping and running around too much like a social butterfly at times.

Tying it into speed of play.  It is so easy to jump around and run away from great opportunity.  One of the great things about midi is that the speed is going to be like slow motion.  I literally have called it on a night, walked to the other area of the house which is another favorite brother and sisters series of tables and watched a hand or two, walked to the other other side of the house to grab a drink, walk backed to the original table and missed 3 hands.

I have to do a much better job of staying in the pocket in an area.  At the time I mentioned last night, the table right next to me ended up exploding and I didn't play it.  If high payouts hit early and hit often it could be a stunning shoe on that aspect.  But yeah, all Bank or all Player type formations are the best.

All they do is lock themselves into the wrong mind frame by what the do with tracking and putting all their visionary energy into Allegany hereinafter opposite of betting the repeats.  All you will do is push your money back and forth at best.  Then, when the shoe gets super strong you will lose money or you will not beat and miss it,  I see a large amount of people foingvthuscecert time.  Pure waste of your conscious energy,

Last night the biggest streak of win went down when everyone at the table was having a blast hardly paying attention or much 'effort'.  That part of the shoe offered it.  Complexity is placing stock in the wrong aspects of the game.

I ripped on some of the players in this group.  Well... they did go into the active dynamic shoe shuffling convo where the house will determine the precise shuffle AND cut (?) that will counter any and all players that could possible play.

Well.  I like this video from their group a lot?  Why?  Only because it is clearly explained from a presentation standpoint.

HOWEVER, I am posting because unless you are at a slower pace midi or control a table, complex systems/ approaches to play will be hard pressed to implement. It's called the casino dynamic that every player who plays is well aware of.  Pretty much like you start looking over at THAT player or THAT dealer and boom NO MORE BETS.  Try completing a complex system notes....

Thanks for posting!

Or why so many players hate when you touch their chips.  They don't want the dealer, floor managers, or surveillance getting it wrong in review.  I had one player pussy check me because another player moved his stack a little.  Wasn't me bro!

And then you have the baccarat players that are all over which is fine, but when they lose track of what they are doing and get confused...
