Anyway, my first advice would be to get some actual real live casino play even if its on csm machines. Yeah, it may cost you a few bucks. Consider it part of the cost of learning.
I think the cost and expenses of any trip to the USA from Europe is going to far out way any blackjack losses you will have. And the expenses of such a trip will almost certainly cause your trip to be a losing one especially playing low limits.
I will share my losses with you for my last several years. Most of my play has been at double deck, but some single deck and 6 deck is also included in the mix. I play mostly at the red chip level, but sometimes at the green chip level especially at single deck. My double deck play is mostly at $5 or $10 min games. Sometimes I play two hands at at time, sometimes just one. If I play two hands I have to double table min. My spread mostly would be to max $80 to $100, but depending on the casino I may spread as high as two hands at table max. These super max bets are far and few. They don't happen very often.
2019 average loss $307. Average session length 5.7 hours
2018 average loss $384. Average session length 6.0 hours
2017 average loss $445. Average session length 6.3 hours
2016 average loss $405. Average session length 4.7 hours
All of these years were winning years at blackjack. Well, 2019 isn't over yet, so don't know how 2019 will turn out, but as of right now it is still in the black. My largest one day loss over these 4 years was $1,391. On the other hand my largest one day win over these 4 years was $1,806.
