Expecting Presentments A Certain Way
Habit Of Inner Resistance
Focusing Only On What's Wrong
Recognizing your mistakes is an advantage to playing better with greater profits. And after all is said and done, isn't that what we are really after?
So open your mind and read on and then think about your past play.
EXPECTING PRESENTMENTS A CERTAIN WAY
Imagine sitting down at a BAC table and when you begin wagering, just about every hand is turning out the way you expected. You are winning seven, eight, even nine hands out of every ten. Perfect! No disappointments, all of your studying, researching, past losses and all such events are now paying off.
It may happen, but it will follow reality and reality will limit such play to be one small section or perhaps half a shoe. Rare occasion might extend such play to three sections. But it will never last on a continuous and repetitive play, shoe after shoe.
Expectations are extremely dangerous to a player. By expecting presentations to be a certain way you are removing yourself from the reality of the shoe.
If you remove yourself from expectations of what should happen/ occur and how it should, you become impartial and more open to the possibility of what the shoe will produce. You pay attention in a different perspective that will be to your advantage.
BAC is complex and your awareness is crucial to profitability. Expectations are great in planning and armchair quarterbacking, but at the table they are extremely dangerous and bankroll drainers in every aspect whatsoever.
You must remember at the table in live play, you can never be able to predict how it should be, how it has to be, and how it is supposed to be. Believing those things and wagering along with them, will hurt you almost every single time. Those fallacy type of expectations create losing wagers when you believe that way. And that way will always disappoint you and cause frustration and emotional chaos most every time.
Be careful, Be smart, Be profitable.
THE HABIT OF INNER RESISTANCE
You would totally be surprised at the amount of times you subconsciously resist events. Not just in BAC, but in overall life. Keep in mind those phrases, "why did I do that" or "how did I think that way" or "I can't believe I thought that could happen", and related other ones. Inner resistance will occur in us no matter what. But you have to recognize it. Again, another huge advantage for yourself if you can.
IMO and experience if you calm yourself at the BAC table, remove yourself from expectations and you have awarded yourself advantages.
Inner resistance causes you to follow fallacies and have your losses outweigh your wins, will not only cause you frustration and emotional imbalance, it will cause you physical harm. Inner resistance will cause you above average physical tension in your shoulders, neck and head. All of those will overflow into your pathway for decision making ability as well as your interpretation of reality. And decision making ability and interpretation of reality are huge advantages at the table for the player.
FOCUSING ONLY ON WHAT'S WRONG
So many of us, I do believe the majority of BAC players focus only on what is wrong or what was wrong (including experienced and long term players). And that in itself, IS WRONG. The absolute bottom line is, that most all series of profitable and gambler advantaged BAC events are packed into a short period of time for each player. No matter if that is one, three or five shoes of play, within one session or several sessions. Unlike all other forms of business where upon planning and day-to-day, week-to-week, month-to-month even quarter-to-quarter adjustments are easily available for the owners advantage, BAC is not that way by any means.
Although in BAC, no one can see into the future of each shoe and how each hand will be presented. Therefore you must not focus on what went wrong, you must focus on setting yourself into the instant.
Being into the instant without focusing on what went wrong and expecting presentments a certain way, although are intangible, they are definable acts. You must embody your mindset into the difficult and complex game of BAC and its presentments.
SUMMATION
Although there are mostly unforeseeable outcomes without a doubt in BAC, by not expecting presentments a certain way and the recognition of inner resistance you build within yourself, is a pathway to focusing on controlling the circumstances that the vast majority (huge) of BAC players cannot.
Old habits are extremely difficult to break. Why? Because you are comfortable with those you have developed. You even win occasionally with those and you subconsciously calculate ways to use those and think they are the holy grail which you want to believe they are. You then blame your losses on greed and various other reasons, forcing you not to improve your game and actually learn advantages that will allow you to profit considerably more and on a repetitive basis.
The bottom line is most of us become "sucked into the shoe"and wagering either out of control or much greater than we should have engaged in. Winning is heavily dependent on how you play the hand you have been dealt when you wager, simple. Not on anything that has happened prior to that hand. Disclosure/Note: There are occasionally times that such events as equalization should occur and streak limits happen. Those can be to a players advantage to wager a certain way. However nothing has to continue or stop with the presentments in the game of BAC.
If you allow any of the negativity and harsh outcomes to affect you at the table including losses prior to an instant hand, you cannot free yourself up of expecting presentations a certain way, falling prey subconsciously to the habit of inner resistance and focusing only on what went wrong.
For profitability sake you need to understand what I am talking about.
