OK, so my tweaked strategy (not a progression/regression, not card counting) is up about $13,750 after 1,075,000 hands, betting $100 per hand. (So betting $2,500 per hand - which is reasonable at a casino about 120 miles away from me - would garner over $300,000 and probably much more, much sooner while riding the wave of an upswing.).
So, I guess the next step is to find a more powerful simulation like on Qfit or Casino Verde to run this about 400 more times.
