There are many things that can be learned in that stage even if its only a couple hundred hours. Green level can help you polish your act.

BankerCA, post is spot on and AngryCounter I believe that you are missing his point. Remember the hard part of being successful at blackjack is to get away with it. You want to be welcomed back. The education required to learn how to act and blend in (casino comportment) is the hard part and becomes a necessity. When you wrote:
"In hindsight I should’ve started black off the bat and I’d be very very well off now lol."
That is pure speculation, and would be under completely different circumstances, and Banker was not talking about getting the deck estimation right. Every level of color change requires new and harder skills to try and avoid detection. There is always the rare exception who is natural and everything comes easy but the rest of us have to learn from experience often paying our dues the hard way. By the way, learning deck estimation is important too, you learn that at the red chip level.
