Sep 12th 2007
Professional Blackjack Players

To start participate in professional blackjack tournaments and compete with professional blackjack players you will need to go through a lot of training. Wondering how to play blackjack like a professional? Well, if you want to win like the pros; you have to think like the pros! Blackjack professionals are visual-analytical thinkers who store information up and to the left, the kind of guys who prefer action sports and speak in clips or bursts.

If you think that if your bookshelves are packed with expert books on blackjack you will become fast a professional blackjack player, you couldn’t be more wrong. You need more than that. You need a brain for numbers and discipline.

To become one of those blackjack professionals you’ll need all your book knowledge, skill, and experience together with great mental skills. For a professional blackjack tournament strategy you will need to use effective systems, employ flawless strategy, enjoy competitiveness, rely on unerring money-management skills, and absorb the bad-beats. But that is not all. To become one of the best blackjack players you’ll need to combine all I have just said with a great control of your emotions and minimize drama.


I have made a simple list of things you should practice to develop your mental skills so you can start play tournament blackjack with real blackjack professionals:

  1. Relaxation - for that you need hours and hours of experience in mini-tournaments, not time spent on the game on your cell phone

  2. Concentration - as you’ll have to make many important decisions in short spans of time

  3. Risk play (be comfortable losing because most of the time you will)

  4. Fear must not exist. It is only a game after all

  5. Pressure (it's your money you're losing)

  6. Distractions (waitresses dressed summary, drinks, noise, gapes, chattering players)

  7. Confidence, sustained by such a theory: start small win big, start big win nothing

  8. Optimal play which, Attention it is not the same thing with perfect play

  9. Post-performance review (all pros in any sport do it)

  10. Control factors (stay in your zone, play your game)
