I&#8217;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&#8217;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 &#8211; 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&#8217;m getting too close to the trip without a +30 hand, I&#8217;ll make it 15 + or 20+ depending on whether or not the &#8216;feel&#8217; was on.  After that, it&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>\tWould like to hear from you guys.<\/p>\n<p>\tHeading for Vegas 8\/31, so game on soon.<\/p>\n<p>\tAlamo<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>Replies:<\/h3>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> getagrip on July 26, 2013, 7:52 pm<\/p>\n<div>Hi Alamo!<\/p>\n<p>\tCheck this thread out for some answers to your questions.

The only addition that I do, is to be ready to walk if things aren&#8217;t right. A written plan is absolutely needed.  I take a practice board, but even a magazine works well.  Breathe and enjoy the journey.<\/p>\n<p>\tDon&#8217;t forget to shoot with passion.
