re: Blackjack players...

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.

Nah, double down. Makes 'em twice as made.

Yeah I have never seen someone bitch about a player hitting showing 10 when the dealer is showing a bust card.
However, if you're showing 10 and hit but get a low card, like a 2 or 3, and the dealer is showing a bust card, you better stay and not hit again, right?

I'm not saying it's happened often but it has happened, certainly not at high minimum tables

If you like winning better than losing. But, you've already proven you like losing better than winning because you didn't immediately double down on that 10 instead of hitting it.

I've not doubled down before in that situation, not because I intended to hit twice, but because I didn't want to risk losing double my money.
Some times the reward is not worth the risk to me.

How do you handle fellow blackjack players at your table who don't know how to play
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.
quote:
the way that helps the whole table
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.
quote:
splitting 10s/face cards
Not recommended unless you are in a BJ tourney and then it should be considered.
quote:
Or do you not even worry about it bc it's their money?
Don't worry play your game, and if it becomes aggravating and you're losing then leave.
