Reading this phrase was actually earth shattering for me.

    I'm not afraid to win or lose. And I'm not afraid to be barred either.

    Wish I could say the same. I have some mental changes to make. I'm new to BJ but been around other gambling areas as a semi-pro for a while. I've been buying the same damn books looking for some magical equation or something. I've analyzed hand databases until I'm blue in the face looking for leaks and exploitative population tendencies. After reading a comment yesterday that wasn't even directed to me, I felt like I got slapped in the face. What holds me back from full potential isn't a technical issue it's a mental issue. I can tell already I'm on the path to letting this problem bleed over to BJ as well.

The goal of advantage play is the legal extraction of funds from gaming establishments by gaining a mathematic advantage and developing the skills required to use that advantage. To maximize our success, it is important to understand that we are all on the same side. Personal conflicts simply get in the way of our goals.
