Backed off at the El Cortez

[aslan]

I have never steamed. never. Before I ever stepped foot in a casino I was in my late 20s, had read A LOT of material about BJ and was well on my way to counting. steaming is something that i've never done. i'm not a hothead and not everyone on here is either. i'm not saying you are, but you should be careful before you think that everyone is like you or has had the same experience that you have.

This is really true. Some people have perfect dispositions for gambling. They are calm, cool and collected without the need to practice it. I know some gamblers I really envy because there demeanor never changes no matter how much the pressure mounts. Me, I have to practice at it. I tend to be emotional, so I have to be on guard all the time. THe other thing is, if my sugar goes low I might go off the deep end without realizing it. I have learned also to never gamble when I'm overly tired; for me it's the kiss of death. We're all different, that's for sure.
