I haven't been able to get a good answer to this question:
"Can the plays of other players change your EV?"
This one happened to me last night. I'm 2nd in from third base with a hard 20, easy stand. 3rd base has a 15, the dealer is showing a Ten. And he stands!!
The delear flips a 5, also having a 15. Draw a 6 to 21, and everyone at the table looses.
If the 15 had followed BS, everyone probably would have won.
However, let's look at another play, same guy. I've got an 11, the dealer is showing a 6. I double down, draw a 4 to 15. 3rd base is looking at a hard 12. And he DOUBLES DOWN. WTF? I was thinking. He draw an 8 to 20. The dealer flips over a 7, for 13, draws a ten to bust. If third base had obeyed BS, everyone would have lost to a dealer draw to 21.
Anyone got any notes, links, or explanations of other players play changing your odds?
Thanks, this is driving me nuts.
