A couple of questions from an old-time Noobie

[Freightman]

I would like to emphasize that all player's who use simple systems does not play the exact same game. Subsequently some of the smart ones, as a matter of fact, do not have to use large outrageous spreads like ZMF likes to imply to make good consistent EV returns.

They’re 2 parts to the EV equation (among others). The first of course, beaten to death, are the incremental gains of using progressively stronger counts. More importantly, the value of (regardless of system) judgement cannot be overstated. Included in this vein is understanding how simulations are created, and developing strategies to surpass them. Sorry, but be8ng purposely vague.

That's right and if I wanted to spell out the obvious ways I would have.

Then I won't show I know exactly what you are saying by listing them.
