Re: I am not a Blackjack player...
In Response To: Re: The Cooler? ()

but I do find the game interesting and do read up on it. The following is typical of what is written about Blackjack:

Many good players believe that if a player sitting at their table makes incorrect playing actions, it decreases their advantage. This is not true. There may be times when a player sitting at third base (left-most seat) hits his 16 when the dealer is showing a 5 and this player ends up busting and the dealer ends up with a good hand whereas if this player did not take the hit the dealer would have busted and everyone at the table would have won (the third base position gets a lot of heat from the other players if basic strategy is not followed). People tend to remember these bad incidences but in reality these kinds of actions have just as much chance of helping the other players as hurting them.

I have read this both on web sites and in articles on the subject, always seeing the same view. But also as opined above, why stay if they ruin your fun? vbg
