Your
session money and your stake (bankroll) are directly linked:
Session money should always be a minimum of 40 times x,
with x equaling your base betting unit or the table minimum
(they could be different). Let's say .x equals S5; therefore
your session money is $200 (40 x 5). For a minimum of three
sessions, your stake or bankroll should equal 3 x $200 or
$600 in total. You should have the entire $600 on you before
walking into the casino.
Preferably you should have no ATM or debit cards with you!
You should always take a minimum of three sessions' worth
of money with you to the casino in the event you lose the
first session's stake and you still feel good about playing
and want to continue. The following pages list a sampling
of some strategies you might use.
Remember the minute you win eighteen to twenty units (discussed
later) or have played eighty minutes, whichever comes first,
then leave the table! Now there's a variation to that we'll
be covering later on in this chapter. How did we arrive
at the 18/80 rule? It's pretty easy, actually. It's based
on a rate of deals in an hour, usually about 120 if it's
just you and another player, and an earning rate of about
.65 units per hand, multiply by an estimate of 140 hands-voila,
you'll have close to 18 units in approximately 80 minutes
on average.
Remember, this advice is for a recreational player not a
professional one. A professional plays by different rules;
we're sticking with advice that helps the serious recreational
player.
