When the Winning Streak Ends

Betting of any kind is almost always based mainly on luck of the draw or chance if you will. While this does not mean that skill does not play an important role in the game, you had better count your lucky stars that the deal is in your favor. Once you are dealt a bad hand there is not a lot you can do to recover from it unless of course you are the world's greatest bluffer. With that being said try to keep in mind that there are probably other people there who are a lot better than you are so refrain from getting cocky whatever you do. The first thing you better do before you walk up to a casino table to play with a bunch of pros is predetermine how much money you are going to play with that night.

If you find that you are starting to get close to that limit while playing then you better find the strength to get up and walk off. You can easily go on a winning streak that begins to look like all the odds are in your favor but you can also lose that streak rather quickly. Knowing when the streak has ended is one of the most important aspects of playing the game. Yes, it is true what the Kenny Rogers song said "You have to know when to fold them, know when to hold them, no when to walk away when the dealings done." If you do not know these things then playing in an environment with a lot of pros is a very foolish thing to do unless you have structured yourself.
