The statement is not a general statement. It is a statement about casino specific conditions, not pen or rules. If you can get the good conditions at a great game you have a honey hole. Unfortunately that can be hard to find. You are then tasked to find the best condition windows of opportunity based on scouting at great games and the often better conditions at poorer games. EV is not about win rate per 100. That is what a sim will tell you. It is about win rate per hour and getting the highest quality sessions you can for the limited time you should be playing. The sim gives you win rate per 100. You know you will leave after 1 or 2 max bet cycles. You want those cycles to get the most bets out and have you getting the highest percentage of the cards being dealt. You have to think about the interaction between the sim results and the conditions you are considering facing. Remember your results become more certain when you play more rounds. The higher the percentage of max bets you get out when the opportunity presents itself the higher your EV/round (remember you don't have to play bad counts) but that comes with an increase in volatility. You combat volatility with getting in more rounds. There is no way to totally avoid ass kickings but getting in more rounds ups the odds that things will go well for you. That is why we talk about n0.
