Things people do in a casino that tilt you

I'm curious too, since it's the correct play.

I'll add that I get annoyed when guys get mad at my play when it was basic strategy. And that guy is the is usually the same guy that stays on 16 against a ten but will hit a 12 against a 14.

My thought as well. I can't understand why would it bother him that someone is making the mathematically correct play.

The dumb dickheads that split 8s when dealer shows 10

"Always split aces and eights" is the saying.

"Always split aces and eights" is the saying.

I was at a table a few months ago and the asian girl next to me got 5 aces!! I think she won 3 of them and would have on the other 2 had my buddy sitting on end not hit. Something like that, but she had 5 aces sitting out there. Never see that before.

After playing poker for 3 days straight On the way home I passed a cop he thought I was drunk made me walk the line. Gave a ticket for reckless driving

all of the above reasons are why internet poker became so popular so fast.

ok...so you guys are telling me you would rather have two hand with an 8 and a card underneath against the dealer with a 10 and a card underneath?

just play the one hand win or lose the unit.

why risk 2 units ? that is the dumbest reasoning I aver came across.... people have no balls to hit a 16

 

[tanner12oz]

Bad losers irritate me...bad beats hurt but the swearing, throwing shit and crap is too much. If you can't handle losing you shouldn't be gambling.

Playing 2 hands with 8s is better than 1 hand with 16.

In the long-run you will lose less $ (or win more, depending on how you want to look at it) by doing this.

Playing the hand would actually be the 3rd best thing to do, behind surrendering.

Playing 2 hands with 8s is better than 1 hand with 16 long-term.

yeah ok dude

Whether or not it's the right play mathematically (it is) is irrelevant.

I don't understand why people get all worked up when others at the table are making mistakes. Guy hits a 13 against a dealer 5 and draws a 10, oh no he took the dealer's bust card. That's so fuckin dumb, what about all the times that someone else's dumb play wins you a hand? I was at the casino tonight and that happened to me at least 5 times.

I don't give a shit what other people at the table are doing as long as they're doing it quickly.

Um, blackjack is not about *balls*. It's about making the correct play. Unless you equate having *balls* to throwing money away.

You clearly have no clue about probability and expected value in gambling.

Computer simulations have shown over *billions* of hand simulations, and I'm sure it's been mathematically been proven also,
that in this situation (pair of 8's vs. dealer 10), the expected values are the following:

splitting: -48% of original bet amount
hitting: -54% of original bet amount

So, clearly both moves have an expected loss, but in not splitting, your expected loss is more.

 

[MantisToboggan]

yeah ok dude

Pats is right. Long run you lose less money splitting than you do playing 16. Simple math. If you play blackjack based on anything other than probabilities you're giving away money. Not splitting 8s vs 10 is giving away money.

i agree with that %100

i was going to post the same thing.

but splitting 8s against 10.....and like i said i dont care what the count is...... hit or stand i dont care .... but splitting is just beyond me
