How do you handle fellow blackjack players at your table who don't know how to play the way that helps the whole table?
Examples: splitting 10s/face cards, hitting when the dealer is showing a bust card and they have a hard 12-14, etc...
Or do you not even worry about it bc it's their money?

You want to know how I handle people who think this is a legitimate notion?

Until you place their bet you can't tell them how to play. If it gets unreasonable to my mind, I find another table.
The best plan is to play at a table with a min bet high enough that you don't get many people like that.

Don't really worry with it cause there's not much I can do, if they seem open to advice I'll explain the bust card concept cause it's easy to understand
Also I always sit at anchor position that way at least no one can frick up behind me
Also also I follow the bust card concept but if I'm sitting with a seven and a three I'm sorry but I'm hitting, no one else is gonna watch out for my money nor should they

Blackjack is just way too complicated of a game. I think anyone who would dedicate that much time to learning how to play a poker game is just a loser, whether they're good or bad.

Don't worry about it. Hitting or not hitting when you're 'supposed' to can either help or hurt. Doesn't really change the odds.

Don't sit at a $10 table with tourists who don't know what they are doing?
If you're there for business, up the ante and go sit at a higher stakes table. That way the table wins b/c everyone is playing for the table.

Ah, fallacies.

I leave. There's another table where people aren't idiots.

I used to play A LOT of blackjack in the mid 1990's and saw all kinds of crazy stuff. I learned basic strategy and a very simple counting strategy. I would go to the sleaziest casino on the coast, Bayou Caddy, and play for hours at $2 or $5 tables during off hours to practice. Their dealers were always new and inexperienced so you could pull some fast ones on them.
If you are bothered by someone else at the table for any reason, move to another table. As someone else said, a "wrong" play is just as likely to help you as it is to hurt you. And sometimes a bad play is really the right move if the count justifies it.

You can do one of two things, stay or get up and move because you shouldn't be telling people how to bet their own money.
Sometimes these types bring you luck, and sometimes the kill you. It works both ways.

There is no such thing, you must play to help yourself. Double down when its time to double down, split cards when its time to split cards. Sometime sit backfires, but blackjack is all about the long haul and increasing your bets when the dealer gets cold and you get hot.

splitting 10s/face cards
Not recommended unless you are in a BJ tourney and then it should be considered.

Don't worry play your game, and if it becomes aggravating and you're losing then leave.
