BS cards and grief from other players
Today it seems that every casino will let you keep a BS card on the table but often the pit will ask to look at it. Though I have never seen a problem with this, it does bring up the possibility of a problem if your BS card is not one sold by casinos but one sold at an AP site and has the sites name on it.
As far as grief goes, it is a given, guaranteed to happen to you if you play great or play bad or play somewhere inbetween. It is a combination of the nature of the game (others believe your decision effected their results), and human nature where people often need someone else to blame for their misfortunes (beside themselves).
Using the card will not make you a winner but will reduce your loss rate to the house edge. Everytime you play it properly, hitting your 12 vs dealer 2 or 3, hitting or doubling your soft 18 at the proper times and splitting your 9,9 at the proper times, you will be subject to some kind of table comments when things go wrong from a self proclaimed table expert (better known by me as a long term loser) who will use hindsite to point out that if you had played it his way (the wrong way) the results would have been better. Remember, the many times that you make the same exact play and the results turn out in Mr. Experts favor, he will not mention it and really not even notice anything.
Just be ready for this. If you are the kind of person who has problems with complaints of other players, either find a way to get over it or find a different game.
