Ploppies stand too much and the H17 rule will cause the dealer to bust some hands he would have won otherwise.
After all the EV for a BS player in either game will be the same vs dealer upcards 7 thru 10, the very ones a ploppy might be most likely to stand too often against.
How often will even a ploppy's ploppy stand too often against 2-6?. But if he does stand on some 12's vs 2 or 3, he will lose a little less.
And I think pretty much the same goes vs dealer Ace against stiff hands. If he stands in H17, he's actually lucking out compared to S17.
So I guess, like you say, they might actually win a little less against players who stand too often.
Then again, maybe there are ploppies who hit too often too lol.
