So I'm at the table minding my own business. Dealer gives me A/7 to his 10 upcard. I take a hit-"Mr. know it all ploppy" seated to my right loudly states "THAT'S AN 18 'YA KNOW"! Now normally I'd say something like "oh really"? Maybe my blood sugar was low,I'm not sure: I responded with "that's a soft 18 and according to basic strategy you hit on dealers' upcard of 9,10,or Ace. You stand on 2,7,or 8 and double down on 3 through 6"! He got up and left the table. Like I said low blood sugar(?) coupled with his arrogant "know it all" attitude maybe?:joker:
Usually, you just want to ignore it. But some of these ploppies will start bringing heat down on you for making plays. They'll yell about ****, and then the floor/boss comes over, and now people are paying attention to how you play, how much you bet, etc.
Sometimes it's good figure out how to shut them up.

Yes, I agree. You don't want to shut them up just for your own satisfaction, but it's good to develop some degree of control over what goes on at that table.
Another thing to consider is that you don't know who those people are and if you are being observed by someone who might attack you or try to rob you at some later point, so you want to project an attitude of being reasonably tough and assertive. Not aggressive or spoiling for a fight, just willing to defend yourself.

you know, there is some truth to ploppy talk when you are splitting tens and keep resplitting. YOU ARE in truth, taking the dealer's bust cards for yourself, and not allowing a table win. I don't do it most of time at my local casinos since they all have small town friendly attitudes. but give me tens in vegas, and I'll split them at low counts just to get the assholes off my table.
