I’d be interested in hearing from members about what they do for pre-trip preparation. I’m talking about everything from the Joo Joo on your locker to how you practice leading up to a trip the week or two before. I know I’ve got my routine. For example, with under 5 days to go, I stop logging statistics of any sort and I stop practice betting and work on fundamentals. In the way of Joo Joo, I like to continue my betting practice 5 – 6 days out until I have a roll of 30+. I then make that 30+ roll the last one I do any counting on. The joo joo is that I have that last big roll as a recent memory in my head. If I’m getting too close to the trip without a +30 hand, I’ll make it 15 + or 20+ depending on whether or not the ‘feel’ was on. After that, it’s fundamentals and visualization but without too much self-criticism. No setting of the dice but rather doing such things as hitting the bowl, keeping the dice in the corner for consecutive rolls, etc.

Would like to hear from you guys.

Heading for Vegas 8/31, so game on soon.
