    Post Casino Verite Blackjack Playing Accuracy %

    What percentage basic strategy playing accuracy should you have in simulated play using BJ Verite, for example, to have a winning game at the casinos? My current percentage is 98% after just over 2,300 hands. Is this high enough?

    Thanks,
    N

    Are you counting or playing BS? If you're not counting and adjusting your bets appropriately, you'll never have a winning game.

    In either case, it should be 100%. There's no excuse for making mistakes.

    Do not listen to the above advice. Your 98% accuracy is good enough. The problem is many basic strategies are not accurate themselves. Trust yourself.

    I recommend learning & applying the Illustrious 18 deviations.

    Hi all, thanks for replying. Yes, I am playing Basic Strategy, counting, using a betting strategy and applying Illustrious 18 deviations. I suspect 100% accurate playing strategy isn't really practical at the tables. We're not computers.

    You posted this just to confirm your belief.

    One thought I keep getting stuck on is how much does it really matter that we make the correct move for a lot of these hairline decisions? If decision A is .0002% better than decision B we train to make decision A when the time comes.
    When you sim billions of hands you can see in the results how decision A is superior. We live in the real world, where we won't play billions of hands in our lifetime. Decision A being more profitable than decision B is probably going to
    be determined more by the lifelong variance we experience.

    This is probably piss poor thinking, but has anyone else ever thought about this along these lines?

    Yes it is. If you have to learn one number or the other, is there some reason you'd prefer to learn the inferior one? If, instead, what you're saying is, when two plays are so close, if I make a mistake, I know it won't cost me very much, then fine. But don't ever make the foolish argument of: I don't get to play billions of hands in my lifetime. That has absolutely nothing to do with it whatsoever. Some people take pride in playing to the best of their abilities. Others don't give a shit. Which category are you in?

    I take great pride in trying to make the optimal decision every time and will continue to.


    You put it a great way, by stating it is nothing but a foolish argument to suggest it doesn't matter what decision we make since we won't play a billion hands. I guess that is what I needed to hear to stop wasting mental energy on non-sensical thoughts. Thanks!

    Yes, but I guess I was looking to check if more experienced players than me felt what was needed was 99% accuracy. But happy that 98% seems good enough. Thanks for your input and reply.

    You need to be 100% accurate on Basic Strategy. Depending on how many indexes you can memorize for deviated index play, you can have 80% accuracy on your index play. I mean you can choose inaccurate index play but that play must be based on Basic Strategy. When I see the shoe is weird in composition like very clumped, I would rather lower my spread and choose Basic Strategy instead of index play.

    Why do you feel compelled to speak to a newcomer about a "very clumped weird shoe composition"? He's then going to ask you what you mean, and you're going to spout nonsense to him.
