Moses, this cross forum discussion really doesn't make much sense, so this will probably be my last post.

I would have thought running a sim to see if the 6 deck game was beatable or not, would be your first step not your last. If the sim shows the game not beatable, or even not beatable to your satisfaction, meaning the kind of money you want to make, no further steps need be taken in your consideration. But you do it your way.

If you remember, several times I suggested you should consider learning how to beat 6 decks, because I figured at some point the single deck game would disappear. Reno is really the last place, other than a couple very small, very low limt towns. Of course I had no idea this kind of covid situation would play a part and speed up that change.

Now, should you decide to play Vegas at some point, you will need to play and learn to beat 6 deck games. A player can not survive Vegas playing only double deck, at least as a full time income. As previously mentioned, DD are a counter trap at many locations and there just aren't enough.

Now should you ever decide to play 6 deck, you are going to have to adjust to 2 things that will be very different. One is that you can not make the kind of money you are hoping to make ($200k). As I and several other players that play Vegas have told you, the range is $80-$100k. That is what you can make playing the limits that are tolerated. You can't double it by doubling stakes. The whole thing falls apart because that level is not tolerated. You will get several months at best. And you can't double it by simply playing twice as much. That will result in over-exposure and similarly a short run. It is what it is...accept it or not.

The second thing that will be very different for you is variance. I have held off on mentioning this because this will be very difficult for you. While your play and mine have been very different, I have learned some things from you about single deck play that I didn't know or didn't fully understand. Like single deck play is the one remaining situation where what count you play can make a different. A higher or specialty count can lower variance and that seems to be something you have specialized in. It doesn't work that way with 6 decks. What count you play matters much less and speciality counts add almost nothing. It is a simple more high cards = good, more low cards = bad. And with that comes much more variance and swings than you are used to. You would have to learn to deal and accept that because you cannot change it, although I expect you will try.

Sincerely good luck to you whatever you decide.
