BLACKJACK PROBLEM!!!!

[sdp]

I know someone like this - he is a great high limit winning player and will be up 8 or 9k and lose it all within 10 minutes at the BJ table. My suggestions come from observing him, just my 2 cents.

In several of your posts there seems to be a helplessness factor i.e., 'I seem to find myself playing' etc. If you are willing, I think you need to bring more conciousness and awareness of your mental state from the minute you walk in the casino. It sounds like you feel like you are on auto pilot and that is usually related to a subconcious urge. There are many reasons that people feel the need to gamble/lose - a need to punish yourself being one, a need for action another. You are succeeding in an area where 90% of people fail, when you consider that, what thoughts come to mind?

Even if you still play BJ the next time you go to the casino, pay close attention to everything you are thinking/feeling while this is going on. If you are unable to focus, it is time to consider what else you are avoiding in addition to considering what is it that you are getting out of playing BJ.
