One opportunity that many new players don’t take advantage of is tracking their casino playing sessions to improve their performance. To consistently get better you should know how much you are really winning or losing every time. For one, the results of your playing sessions may highlight one or more weaknesses in your gameplay. Maybe you bet too high or fluctuate your bets too frequently. Perhaps you are not abiding by basic strategy as consistently as you should be.
In your logbook (this can also be a computer document) take note of where you play, how much you play with, what your bankroll is, how many hours you play, what the game rules are, other notes about the casino(s), what you may have done differently at each session, and so forth. If you find a dealer who is very patient with you and lets you know when you are making a stupid playing decision or gives you time to act on each hand, write down his or her name and when he or she works so that you can find him or her the next time you play at that casino.
