Lose two, always stop for a few seconds. Lose two twice in a row, light a fag. Lose two more, scream at the monitor. Lose two more, call up a mate and say "do you know how many I've lost in a fucking row???"
In general however, I play off win two...throw again immediately. I believe the dice can get a head of steam up sometimes and have tapped out 14 up in few seconds. one/one = a slight pause to gather breath. Two off needs a minimum few seconds break, to avoid the head of steam going off in the other direction.
Finally, I repeat the running score (in my mind if I'm alone)..."2 up, even, 2 up, 4 up, 4 up, 4 up, 2 up, even, 4 up..." on all major large attacks.
Oh, and if it is a lost cause I always auto. This superstition came about against Fc in a trips game where my parter rolled 5 on 13 to break siam, advanced 4 and then cleaned up the oceana 1's to take the game.
How superstitions are formed...
