Sims

A sim that gets closer to perfection may be only demonstrating what a player won't be experiencing and therefore unusable.

A perfect sim may be only proving that it's a perfect sim because it's getting close to dealing every possible hand.

A player is really only going to experience a lopsided result at the best of times; so short sims may prove to be of more value for that reason. It's the extremes that a player really wants to see.

Once a sim proved it's own perfection, it's real value would be in running short sims.

This is nonsense.

It looks like NorthWind's post was intended to be a response to comments made in an ongoing thread from earlier in the week. The thread has had several participants, so NorthWind's participation (however you may feel about his views) isn't out of line.

I think this poster is knowingly starting a new thread, posting nonsense to incite and inflame us (I am certainly victim to this). I can see why other boards didn't allow his posts, not only are his posts nonsense, but he has a righteous attitude about his crap. He really is best suited for Patrick's board, where he can "math boyz" and "flaw" us in peace.

I was tempted to reply to his nonsense, but then thought better of it.

Aren't we warned against casting our pearls in front of swine?

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. So in the words of an immortal song, "I won't get fooled again".

Take your BS to a voodoo site, please. You are admittedly ignorant on advantage play, and have demonstrated that you do not have a real desitre to increase your knowledge.

I break with thee, and I hope that you have a long and happy life. That is all I have to say, and I will not say any more to you.

Try to put your sensibilities aside long enough to discuss tough subjects.

If it's of no interest to you, then don't presume it's of no interest to someone elso. Others are capable of deciding for themselves.

If the post is foolish, it should be an simple matter to point out to everyone where and why.

I'm not afraid to post my thoughts out here for scrutiny. If you wish to keep your foolish conclusions hidden away from any scrutiny, your free to do so. So go ahead and try to make me look foolish. I can take it. Just be careful you don't snare yourself in the process.

BTW I've changed my handle from North Wind to jomoats.

for me and I didn't want to interfer. It got me thinking of what would a perfect simulator produce and what information would be important to me. Their interesting discussion was mostly about speeding up sims and still produce reliable info.

Besides I wanted to see how the behemoths here would react. It appears the post has turned into a taser. :)

Running a 1,000 round sim is useless. Running ten 1,000 round sims is useless. Running 1,000,000 1,000 round sims has a purpose. CVData contains sessioning logic to examine short-term effects. This is not like other sims that merely chop a sim into small segments since it takes into account bankroll, risk and forced session ends. Recently I've posted at advantageplayer.com a few results that contradict common wisdom. For example, theoretic positive EV is not superior to negative EV in all circumstances. For example, stop-losses and stop-wins can have an effect on EV (although always negative.)

We all know that none of these effects can turn a negative EV game into a positive EV game (the progressionists Holy Grail.) But, they can turn an apparent positive EV game into a negative EV game. I think that the understanding of such effects is important as far fewer supposed APs make money than "should." Many players that think they have a positive EV don't.
