If you’re playing at live blackjack tables with big bets, keeping your cool is crucial 🧠. A friend once chased losses and doubled down on 16—needless to say, that didn’t end well. 😬 Instead, track winning streaks and always set a ceiling and stop-win to walk away on top. Ensure you’re playing using proper basic strategy based on the deck count—don’t rely on gut feeling alone. Keep an eye out for distracting side bets too; they’re fun, but not always smart. Stay sharp, play smart, and don’t let emotions take control. 🎯
