2 blackjack tables tonight, one hit on 18 , another on 19

[ttwarrior1]

they both won, rest of table lost, i ended up losing 300 on those 2 hands because it just so happens, i lost several in a row and decided to go for it. What luck

Ended up losing 1 thousand, no lesson learned, ill do it again. Too think i only left because i was tired of staying home alone.

Whether they won or lost making those stupid moves is beside the point. First thing you do when you see that crap is get up and move to another table.

[james4512]

hitting a soft 18 isn't that bad of a move

[DeluxeLiner]

not suppose to hit a soft 19 though against a face card

[Irish Lumberjack]

been there, those people drive me crazy!

[pdx107]

seen it, also seen the splitting on 10's against a 6, makes me sick

The decisions of other players at the table has no impact on your expected long term profit.

[Bigmikesm]

It's your money, play as you like.

[Poker_Beast]

Fukking idiots!!

[SamsNCharge99]

wow, its always important that end player plays correct or i leave the table

[ttwarrior1]

of course i left, i didnt stay, back to back it happened. i never hit on 15 ever also, never ever , long run has done well for me

Casinos will send a limo to get these types. Saw a guy lose about $30 in Laughlin of all places by using the "Never Bust" style; never taking a card if he held a hard 12 or higher. Saw him stand on 12 into a 10 more times than I could count as was playing 3 hands at a time.

A few things:
- First, it doesn't matter what other players at the table do. Sure, a guy may take a bust card every now and then and you may lose that hand, but in the long run the other players' play has 0 affect on your expected outcome.
- Second, splitting 10s is NOT always a bad move. If you are counting, there are certain counts where you absolutely split 10s against a 6.

[ttwarrior1]

bull, it does if i decide to triple or quadruple my bet idiot. and no you should never split tens .

[Iwinyourmoney]

Is it me, or when Im sitting at a table playing 100% by the book and someone keeps hitting a 14 against a deal bust card (2-6) it seems like the idoit player wins more then me.

You don't understand. A game like blackjack is all about the long run. In the long run what others players do has NO effect on you whatsoever. I realize you may lose your cool on a hand, but the opposite will happen as well.

Clearly you do not understand how counting works if you believe you should never split 10s. In a basic hi-lo counting system you split 10s against a 5 at a count of 5 or higher. You split 10s against a 6 at counts of 4 or higher. If you don't split 10s at these counts you are just passing up money.

How the others play at a table really never bothers me. In a 6-8 deck shoe it's basically superstitious if you care.

The only time it matters is if you are trying to just play a few hands, get lucky, and leave up a few hundred. If you are playing for profit in the long run it doesn't matter.

I've seen a friend double down on blackjack and win. It was 3am and noone was at the table other than myself and 2 friends. The dealer called the pit poss over and he just laughed.
I've also seen some jackhole double down on a soft 20 versus a dealer 7 and win. That was in Tunica on a Friday night.

[Patrick McIrish]

Correct William, good luck though getting anyone to believe you. You're asking a BJ player that loses to give the boogey man a pass.

williams ive played and won more than blackjack then you have 20 times over

[fsugolf]

[MendozaLine]

Well based on the lack of knowledge you have displayed I can certainly guarantee that you have lost more hands. If you really think 10s should never be split you should stop playing blackjack. Any time you want to learn, I'd be glad to help.

[ttwarrior1]

open challenge to play you blackjack anytime in any tourney on any site

This, Sir, is the 100% truth.

[ttwarrior1]

try that the next time u bet 400 on a blackjack hand and the other player hits on 18 and you and that guy are the only ones at the table. If you go back and read the original post, nothing else was discussed about bj strategy moron

[eidolon]

sorry t...I thought I saw a 10 under.

[Extra Innings]

A lot of dick swinging in this thread

[Jrod124]

yeah its funny, I am enjoying reading though

[ttwarrior1]

still waiting for a response on my bj challenge,

[Spanks]

fn Bj's...you fairys...

[williams22]

ttwarrior,
Go read up on card counting as clearly you are unfamiliar with it. Once you understand the basics, look up indices and you will learn about splitting 10s.

As for your opinion that other players affect your outcome, I suggest you take a stats class.

[ucbearcats1027]

blackjack is not good online man

[HenPrivilege]

Blackjack isn't worth playing unless you're counting cards. I mean counting every card.
