I know we're joking around because it's Zee but I'm curious to what the answer to this is. I recently got put into the database and have had a string of backoffs ever since. Would a two month hiatus get me out of the "recent entries" category in the databases?
Yes, according to the kelly criterion you can afford a much higher top bet . BUT that's assuming you're playing a perfect game. From the few posts I've read of yours, that doesn't seem to be the case. I would not move up in stakes if I were you until I was 100% sure my game was airtight.
Zee, I was flat bet at a non-Vegas MGM property playing rated when I was first starting out. I had the same mindset as you and thought it would be an isolated incident. I tried playing rated in a Vegas MGM property a few months later and was flat bet there within ten minutes. Be careful.
