Interesting you mention blackjack school. In my own mind I am a very good standard table blackjack player via money management and smart playing. While at the tables last week my first 4 sessions were met by failure losing 75-100% of my buy ins even tho I have a 50% stop at every session. Why did I screw myself? I was playing like it was a tournament. I took my next session off and ate an expensive free dinner, sat on my balcony and looked at the pool, chastised myself and convinced myself I could turn it around. Went 8 for 8 wins to close my vacation out. Lesson learned, dont play a standard table like a blackjack tournament. As for this evening, I can only hope I will see you at a final table.
