Well stated:

"Losing a session bank shouldn't be a catastrophic event"

As well, one should be willing to win >=Session Bank just as often or more often as one loses.

I frequently see players chase their losses and grind down to -0- (i.e., bust buyin). Yet, when successfully guessing the same number of wins in a series and finally  on a win streak that same person will stand up and proclaim: "I'm back to even so I'm coloring up and getting on the road,..etc."

One must be willing to accept favor. Some days at the Bac tables (as in life) are simply very good lucrative days, and we must be willing to reach out and receive them.

Absolutely!!

Like being self employed or in charge of a business.  Three types of days and three types of months/quarters. 

1). Broke even

2). Lost money

3). Made money

But running or owning any kind of business, not all days are profitable, looking at the day only.  How much was the hard costs to do the work.  Employees, fuel, supplies, total office company expenses divided by 20 days or ever how many regularly run, and cost to process that days work. 

In other words, when it's there-it's there and pounce on it-hard!  Same as when at the bac table!

Compare this.  I had a client last week we went out to do a 7,800.00 job, probably would have made around $3,000.00 on it easily.  End of day found something else they needed out there and the estimate was $22,000.00.  They said okay do it.  Profited about $9,500.00 off the second one at least. 

Had another client the week before and got out to their job site, everything went wrong.  Vehicles broke down, replacements sent, overtime on us not the client, etc.  The job wound up costing us about $4,000.00. 

It is what it is.
