I get comped a room, so&#8217; upon arrival (usually around 1:00 PM), I check in and go to the room.  I warm-up by tossing on the bed or sometimes I bring a cardboard box.  The cardboard box is cutout to form a bottom, sides and a back wall.  I mostly look at the dice in the air and warm-up until the dice look good, that is, rotating together properly at the proper arc.  The cardboard box can be helpful to see how the dice land and bounce.  Of course, you want the dice to land flat and bounce straight back to the back wall.  If the dice are at an angle with the box bottom, an angled cut or dent will be made that is quite visible and the dice will dart to the sides &#8211; that is not good.  I hope that this helps. <\/p>\n<p>\n\t_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ <br \/>\n\tThe more I practice, the luckier I get.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> brothelman on August 17, 2019, 10:52 pm<\/p>\n<div>First if you\u2019re going to warm up before you go play practice the way you play. By this I mean if you\u2019re throwing into the bed do not watch that dice focus on your landing spot on the bed always train yourself to do the same things over and over. Im an hour from the casinos maybe an hour and a half I to get comped rooms. Goes like this for me, check-in, go get something to eat, take it to my room eat and watch a movie, relax,and develop a plan of attack. When I\u2019m mentally and physically ready to go play I go find a table with only a few people on it by and start to play if anything doesn\u2019t feel right the rhythm my grip the way the dice are releasing my emotions my mind I quit. I go back to the room and work on my shot, or my mind, or my emotions, whatever it is that is off.  I go out once again hunt down a table no more than five people on a table,this is the absolute max for me. play again if it feels good I\u2019ll take my three or four turns , if it doesn\u2019t feel good I\u2019m done after one turn. I\u2019ll pack it in for the night now knowing I\u2019m not ready to play.  I\u2019ll go get a massage, I walk around and talked all the people that I know, I\u2019ll go get something to eat I\u2019ll do all the things that make me feel good so that I become ready to play the next day.  Next day I\u2019ll get up early 6or7 in the morning find an empty table finish working it out. My goal is to be completely ready to play seriously by my third or forth session at the latest. I time my arrival with enough time to get in the two practice sessions the  day I arrive, one early morning session on the day that I really want to play.  Now I do all this because when I\u2019m planning how I want to play I am planning on playing on two or three specific tables tables that I know I can beat. When I make my initial plan I know what time those tables are opening on day two. My goal is to be at my peak ready to expose maximum dollars on one of those three tables on day two and then I go from there. I carry a little 12 x 12 practice box that breaks down on all sides and fits in a backpack so when I am practicing in the room I have a landing zone that I\u2019m specifically attempting to hit this also gives me a good read on how my days are going to react it has felt on it it has diamonds in it it is just like a landing area on the table.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> MarkV on August 18, 2019, 9:29 am<\/p>\n<div>thanks so much that is helpful<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> Dominator on August 18, 2019, 10:02 am<\/p>\n<div>Great thoughts BMan!<\/p>\n<p>\tDom<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> Carey1001 on August 23, 2019, 9:41 pm<\/p>\n<div>will be folowing the great suggestion. im driving 4 hours to favorite my favorite place .

Listen to your body and take a power nap before hitting the tables.
