Best cure when on a losing streak and losing patience and discipline?

I understand the terms such as "variation, bell curve, deviation, N0" etc. I also understand you have same percentage chance to get the good/bad cards like dealers or other players at the table. But it is mystery to me that dealer or other players got the right cards for their hands and winning but you getting wrong cards in splits/double down and get skinned. If play head on, I would accept that variation is rearing its ugly head but at the same table you are the one that loosing the most of the round/hands.

Its one long session interspersed with eating, sleeping and living.

Lol. I will have to think about that one. They may not be to far off the original.

Think of 15, choose the best 10.

Of course, this is correct, and to which I agree. However, you previously said that playing perfectly has no financial gain attached. That statement is incorrect, since, winning or losing any particular session, playing perfectly will maximize your long term result. N'est pas?

The whole point of playing is financial gain. I'm just saying, if I stay completely focused on playing like I'm supposed to, the money takes care of itself.

How about start new thread with title "10 commandments for blackjack"? Few years back in W o O website I remember one of commandment was "thou shall not side bet" and he gives explanation.

"thou shall not side bet"

That's a basic strategy commandment. Harder to come up with AP commandments as there exist so many exceptions.

Thanks freightman. I did a little counting back in college but never had the roll back then to be serious. Picked it up afain last octobee. I get obssessed with things so I studied pretty hard.

BR 90k (pure profit BR) i play $100 min games. I think i recorded like 40 wins 7 losses and 2 draws in first 5 months over 120 hours then i lost 3 in a row and found myself overbetting so i think im gonna take a 2 or 3 week hiatus

wow you ran super hot!

it's smart to take a break now bc of the mind set you're in.
but 3 sessions is nothing.you need to develop a much stronger stomach for this and trust the math.

[blackjackomaha]

Been hot for about 5 months... in fact never faced back to back losing sessions in over 50 sessions played. Finally hit some variance and lost 3 in a row. Actually 3 in 2 days and started losing patience and discipline ans started over betting.

I already know the best answer: TAKE A BREAK.

Just wondering if there were any other small things i could do to help.

Whiskey. More specifically, bourbon! I'm fond of Blanton's.

If you're correctly playing a good game, fight on.

Commandment #1: It doesn't matter how bad the house edge is. It matters how good the player's edge is.

Or,

Commandment #1: You can't beat the house
Commandment #2: Ignore Commandment #1
