Sorry if this is a little long.
Over this weekend i was down at the borgata. My brother just recently turned 21 and so i took him down to the casino for the first time. No counting, nothing fancy just teaching him some Basic Strategy blackjack.
We sit down at a $15 dollar table and everything is going great. Win a few hands lose a few hands, just getting him accustomed to playing in casino and having some fun. I was sitting 3rd base and he is next to me, so while other players were acting he would tell me what he thought his move was and i would correct him if he was wrong etc....
Well then a new dealer comes. A couple of hands play out fine then my brother gets 12 V a dealer 3, my brother looks at me and says "Hit that right?" and of course tell him yes, so he taps the table to hit and the dealer says "Are you sure you want to do that?", he looks at me and i nod for him to take the hit. She shakes her head, rolls her eyes and gives him the card. he breaks and she kinda laughs. (Cool thing about my younger brother is i don't have to worry about him listening to me, he knows i know basic strat and said that no matter what anyone else suggests he will listen to what i suggest, no questions asked).
A few hands later, dealer is showing a 5 and another player is dealt 5,5 and the player just takes a hit. My brother turns to me and says "He should have doubled there right?" I of course agree, then the dealer says, "No, a dealer 5 can be dangerous".
Similiar type things went on during her entire down, making unsolicited comments on players decisions, asking them if they were sure on normal basic strategy decisions and on too many occasions giving incorrect advice sometimes causing them to play incorrectly. When she was wrong but it worked out she would smile and say something like "See i made you win there". She did not seem to like me as i was pretty much the only one not following her advice as well as telling my brother not to listen to her but to listen to me.
Strangest thing though was one hand my brother gets Soft 18 against a dealer 3, i tell him to double, he does,(she makes no comment), my brother plucks a 4. Dealer turns over 13 and then pulls a 10 to break. Now she tells my brother, "Listen to him he knows what to do, he'll make you money" his double wound up causing the dealer to break and save the table. Strange as ploppies don't usually double soft 18's, figured she would have hated this play.
After this long winded story my question is how do you deal with a ploppy dealer? Now of course i ignore the advice and tell my bro to as well. In general i NEVER give unsolicited advice to other players (except family or my friends) and if someone does ask for my opinion i always say "I would do X but its your money so do what you ant to do".
Generally i just let the ploppies make bad plays etc as it usually is never good since everytime your advice causes them to lose they get upset, but would you say something when a dealer is giving poor advice? Would you say something to other players? Pit Boss or floor person? I felt bad for them as many novices assume the dealer is giving sound advice.
