SH said:It's been my experience that if you're playing BS, no matter how much of a novice table you're at, they pick up on the fact that you know what you're doing and don't really squawk too much. After a while you can even couint on it -- when somebody gets a "tweener" decision, all eyes at the table will shoot at you, as if to say "What should he do." What amazes me is how many people really don't know how to play even though, from talking to them, they're no strangers to the casino.
But I'm dead-solid convinced (see my Crazy Night posting) that bad plays have no effect on your game.

Having said that, can your own occasional bad play have that much affect on your own game?

Please!, there is ONE correct "12", and thats 10-2 vs. a dealer 4.
The 9-3, 8-4, and 7-5 are all STAND. 6-6 SPLITS.
When you play 8 decks, ALL 12's STAND vs. dealer 4. But with 6 or fewer decks it is CORRECT basic strategy to HIT 10-2 vs. dealer 4. None of the other 12's, just the 10-2.

D said:I came home and looked up this thread because of something that happened to me last night. I was at 3rd base and hit a 12 vs. 3 (appropriate because of Basic Strategy AND the count), busted with a ten and of course the dealer makes a 20 with a hit. A "gentleman" at the table, who was betting black and losing, jumped up, yelled and started around the table at me!!! I was the only lady at the table and the REAL gentleman that was sitting next to me stood up and stopped him. The dealer had to call security!!!! The dealer said that this guy had to be escorted out another time, but that still didn't make me feel better at the time. I was having a really good night even though I wasn't getting a lot of good counts, so I hadn't been playing oddly or sporatically up to that point. I'll probably always scan the table before I hit that 12 again.

When you make some of the Mag 7 plays it also causes comment. I usually say I know this is wrong,but I have a hunch. Had a few get a little sore. I just say blackjack is not a team sport. Never had any real trouble.
