Switching Tables At The Casino

One of the biggest mistakes I spot amongst casino players is an attempt to transfer ideas and skills from one type of game to another.  In some situations this makes sense, but in most it likely leads to less than optimal play and application of one’s money management system.

The difference between blackjack and three card poker is far greater than the difference between Texas Hold-em and Seven Card Stud.  In the poker world great players can deftly switch between games in efforts to find the best games.  In casino pits such a strategy rarely pays off.

There is nothing wrong with switching games occasionally or playing various games during a casino visit.  However, the key is to develop your strategy for each casino trip and stick with it.

One of the most common mistakes comes from betting unit size.  If a player starts out at craps and proceeds to lose a significant amount he might choose to wander to blackjack.  The problem is blackjack has less volatility and covering the loss at the craps table will be tough.  In most cases blackjack players who don't chase or press heavily leave the table up or down a few units.  The player must avoid the urge to increase his bet size in hopes of getting even. 

Some games are played for the big score like craps or roulette.  You play both of those games hoping for one big score on occasion, whether it be a hot roll at craps or hitting a number in roulette.  You don't play them hoping to grind out a unit here or there as you might do in blackjack or pai gow. 

The key is to approach each new table with the mindset that you are starting out at zero, even if you are behind from earlier play.  What happened at a previous table has no bearing on how you should bet now.  If you use a risky bet pattern on one game, don’t take it with you to the next game.  If you bet more on one game than another, don’t jack up your bets to match what you played before.  Treat each table as if it was your first.

The best way to accomplish this is to plan out your time in the casino.  Know exactly how much you plan to risk at each table and in which order you plan to play in.  Know yourself and how you normally react to each game.  If one game becomes too slow for your tastes, be sure you have planned out some time on another game and set aside a proper amount of money to play with.  If you usually are good about controlling your impulses after a wild game of craps, go ahead and play it first and head to blackjack after it. 

Better yet, give yourself some distinct time frames and break up your action.  During your afternoon session play blackjack.  Set aside after dinner play for poker and then maybe craps the last morning you are staying in town.  Such a plan sets out approximately how much time you will play and how much money you need to take with you.  Any deviation will require you to admit you are ignoring your plans and possibly setting yourself up for trouble. 

Successful gambling requires controlling your emotions and urges.  The casino works hard to get you to give in to your urge to chase and play out of control.  Regain control and play with a plan and your gambling should be more successful and less stressful when you walk out the door.
