    The point is to tame the unavoidable downturns. You don't have to be screwed over by your own abuse to yourself.
    Sometimes you just have to play to your strengths.

    Don't listen to me. You're on a roll.

    I don't expect my way of maintaining calm through long losing runs is superior to anyone else's, but it is the best I've found so far for my current betting plan. If I could adapt a reliable "situational awareness" strategy for my betting plan then I would swap it in a heartbeat. By my method of betting is what most would call "out there", and so would be almost impossible to correlate into the three basic situational states. Suffice to say when things are bad I'm restricting losses, and when things are good I'm not getting over confident.

    I agree with gizmo. Whatever you do or however you play, always try and stay in the logical brain zone.

    I was forced to use 5 states. There are the in between sections to add that are only almost bad and almost great. You can grind down slowly in times like that. You must take defensive action in times like that too.

    When frustration build up, and its hard to come to that level but you will know.
    Then the best thing is be logical, you can wager everything to luck.

    What's the best way to handle a losing streak? Pound on the machine. Spit on it. Pour beer on it. I don't do this stuff but I've seen others do it.

    When I'm having that streak, it gets hard for me to quit.
    I'm learning to avoid getting more involve but still so hard, training my self have some discipline to over come it.
