Somehow, I don't quite understand the "psychological defeat" concept in blackjack. Not to say that losing isn't frustrating (in my limited experience, I've never won a hand of blackjack in my life), but I don't see how the frustration can affect your play. If you're playing by using a set of rules or basic strategy or whatever, those are still easy and concrete rules to follow no matter how many hands you've won or lost. I can see it in poker because the action around you is fluid and your decisions can change based on certain situations. With blackjack, though, if you're savvy enough to think that someone else at the table made a "bad" play, then you know what your "correct" play is, right? If you're all geared up to play blackjack for two hours, for instance, what benefit is there to getting up and finishing your session later? Assuming you use the same strategy and the table structure is the same, it's not like your chance of winning is going to be different later.

I admit that I may be missing something.
