Wondering what my ROR is given the $50k bankroll.
    Assuming H17, DAS, 4.5/6, with $50K bank, ROR is 6-7%, depending on top bet of $300 or $400.

    Double the bank and it's <.01%.

    Not at all. You probably mean less than 1% or < 0.01

    6-7% is a bit much. I think I will set aside a$70k bankroll, keep top bet of $300 at TC+5 In 6 deck games. In DD games, I will play mostly $25 min., H17, standard rules with max bet of $200, an occasional $50 min. Table (if lower minimum tables are full) with a top bet of $300, top bets at TC+4. Try to be selective, play the better conditions.

    For 6 decks, ROR = 2%. Sounds like a plan.

    Are you willing to downsize your bets if you're losing?

    No! If you double the bankroll, you squared the risk. Don was quoting a RoR between 6-7%. If you double the bankroll, the RoR will be between 0.0036 and 0.0049 or 0.36% and 0.49%

    I don’t trust those deep penetration (.5- 1). I kept trying to beat those ASM games all year long and discovered that after a whole year, I had more success at casinos that cut off 1-1.25 decks and far less success at the under a deck cut off..

    How many playing hours is that "whole year"?
