Blackjack players...

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.

If you have a seven and three, and the dealer is showing a bust card, isn't it expected for you to double down and take one hit?
I'm talking about the players that hit when he has 13 and the dealer is showing a 6, bc in his mind, it's "well I only have 13 and if the dealer has 16, I lose so I need to hit to get more than 16."

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.

how to play the way that helps the whole table?

link is right..how someone else plays has no bearing on your odds of winning or losing in the long run

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

You are correct in the first paragraph and right in the second, I'm just talking about people who try to stop you from hitting when you have 7 and 3 and the dealer has a bust card
I'm sorry folks but I'm gonna try to protect myself in case the dealer doesn't bust by hitting
I've had people try to stop me from hitting in this situation before

I don't think anyone would expect you not to hit with 10........

I've played way too much blackjack in my life, and have literally never had that happen to me

so you have 10? absolutely no one stops someone from hitting a 10, ever.

Yeah what are you talking about? If you are showing a 10 no one would ever expect you to stay. You are playing to win, not for the dealer to bust
Posted on 10/19/16 at 2:27 pm to Wishnitwas1998
If someone gets made at you for hitting a 10, then you definitely need to leave the table.
