Hi all, long time lurker first time posting. First off I want to thank all of you contributors for providing countless and selfless posts helping and educating “us” in AP BJ.
I’ve been pondering the following in my head unable to come up with an answer. I have read multiple posts here and in several books the concept of longevity, and letting it, along with the use of N0, +EV, point to thousands (or tens of thousands more) of rounds being required to let the “math” work it self out to start truly being profitable in AP BJ (understanding BR +/- swings during the process.
The question: Given the above, assuming perfect basic strategy with, let’s say Hi-Low, and the same game rules, couldn’t I or someone use Verite (or other BJ simulator) to play these thousands and thousands of hands with 10k (simulation chips) then with all things being equal play at a live casino (using a real BR of where I left off in Verite) and have the thousands of simulated carry forward to my live play.
I apologize if this sounds completely ridiculous, but theoretically it should work. If not, then why not. (aside from not having actual possible winnings I may have had playing thousands of simulated BJ, that’s not my question).
Just had another thought while writing this. Let’s say I’m playing live and coming up on what seems to be a losing streak. (I know it can go from one hand to months), but what if I play simulated until I “feel” the streak is over and go back to playing live. Will it work? It is, after all, my longevity regardless of where or how (live or sim) I play the hands for my overall BJ game??
Thanks.
