People who don't know how to play.

I sure this has been discussed here before but I couldn't find it. If you're just a BS player how do people sitting at the table who don't know basic strategy affect your hands? Example hitting on 16 with a 6 showing.

It doesn't affect you at all... at least not in the long run. So don't be concerned with how other patrons at the table play their hands.

To paraphrase hundreds of card counters... "There's other people at the table?"

According to that chart, the worse the 3rd-base plays the better for all?

Thanks for all the replies.

In the long run, it shouldn't matter. After all, you don't know what the next card out of the shoe would have been.

I consider ploppy plays an added entertainment bonus.....

Yeah, if someone's sitting at a table with me and they're a poor player I prefer it because it's entertaining lol
