Question. Does outside items, thoughts, ideas, concerns and related come into your mind and thought process when you are actually at a live gaming table?

Thanks for your input.

Absolutely.

I’m always worried a system player will show up, which will make me want to leave the table rather than watch him or her go down in flames.

Good thing I usually play alone, if at all.

I often ponder the duality of man.

How do you really know a player is a systems player?

Was also referring to your own thoughts, problems, frustrations, etc.

The duality of man is all of our problem.

Martingales tend to be quickly identified, and others, but the Martingale perhaps the easiest.

Actually, I don’t like seeing anyone lose more than I am betting, which will almost invariably be the table minimum.

agreed

it's helpful to contemplate the works of Friedrich Nietzsche when playing a table game

and focus on these themes which he expanded upon in his master work entitled "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" -----


The Nihilism of Contemporary Europe. ...
The Doctrine of the Will to Power. ...
The Perspectivist Conception of Truth. ...
Christianity as a Life-Denying Force. ...
The Revaluation of All Values. ...
Man as Bridge Between Animal and Overman. ...
The Doctrine of the Eternal Recurrence

the foolish sayings of a rich man often pass for words of wisdom by the fools around him

I like to build my chips into fortresses. It reinforces the fact I am at war with the casino. I will also chant The Rangers Creed, in my mind.
The older I get, the better I recall things that never happened

Question. Does outside items, thoughts, ideas, concerns and related come into your mind and thought process when you are actually at a live gaming table?


I personally try to concentrate on my game and try to exclude the outside noise. It is easy to become distracted and make unintended moves especially if someone is experiencing some real luck with very big wagers on "risky" strategies. Also, when what one is doing isn't working, tendencies are to change and "jump in" instead of leaving early.

Because I still don't have enough experience, I have a hard time multi-tasking and don't want to deal with anything else, so I try to minimize all that outside noise.
For the majority of my bets at live table games, I am mostly trying to only think "plus one, minus one, how much is left?, divide, bet".

What criteria do you use to make a bet?
