Sure, if you are annoyed. Bj is all about entertainment so if you aren't having fun you should move. Just know that the bad player is not costing you a dime. Of course he is costing himself plenty.

Btw I've found that people wearing green shirts at third base are bad luck. Even when they play perfect basic strategy the dealer always makes their hand.

[insert anecdotal story about guy in green playing perfect basic strategy and causing the whole table to lose]

Yeah, but if 3rd base gets a 3, and the next card is a 10 and busts the dealer, he'll look like a genius.

Blaming 3rd base for taking the dealers bust card assumes anyone knows what that next card wll be. Since no one can, he can't be blamed. Anyone who goes off on someone for taking the dealers bust card is an idiot.

Dealer showing up 6

Basic strategy always assume dealers has a 10 downcard so he HAS to take a card. Are you following this so far????

Now everyone with basic strategy holds except the newbie on third base thinking he should hit on 13 does so and gets a face card, resulting in him busting.

Dealer in turn pulls a 5 getting a 21 and takes $60+ from everyone so now all 6 players LOST instead of WINNING. What part of this don't you understand?????

How does that compare with the probability of your scenario? Think about it. Hard.
Lighten up Francis. It's basic strategy, if you don't want to follow basic strategy which is only stated by every card sold in gift shops here, you don't have to no one has a gun to your head.

You are correct that there is no absolute certainty that he will get any card but just put yourself in the shoes of the other players and tell me how you would feel that your supposed winning hand was a loser?

I don't even play blackjack but I do have enough sense to realize that what one player does in no way effects the probability of another player winning or losing. Is that clear enough for you genius? What was really priceless was your condescending tone to log who was only trying to help you not look like a complete moron to other players (who know better).
