What I love

I love when i'm playing with my friend and I got a blackjack, he hits a 12 vs a 3 and gets a 9 to make 21, dealer flips over a 7 to make 20 and beats everyone at the table except for my friend and I. I (sitting on first base) say to my friend across the table so everyone can hear (sitting on third base) If it wasn't for you the dealer would of busted and everyone would of won. I then sit back and watch the ploppies verbally assault him for the next 10 mins while I feed the fumes making comments here and there. The whole time the dealer is laughing cause he knows I also hit my 12's vs a 3. You can have so much fun with this its ridiculous.
As it turned out, I stayed and made no comment or recognition of what the dealer had said. I was playing a more or less break even game waiting for a good run of cards, so I suspected his comment came from my near perfect basic strategy play. I was doubling my bets in neutral and low plus counts, but other than that, there was not much he could have seen that spelled counter. I did breathe a sigh of relief when this dealer left, however.

although I think splitting tens and having a full table clear out is still one of my favorites.
Hitting hard 17 is for the most part a rookie move.
Oftentimes these weak games have a habit of turning into good or even great games if you just leave them alone. Sometimes it takes weeks, and sometimes years. I once had a hopper dealer in a major strip casino who was completely dormant for three years. When she opened it up she was a 100% game for the next five, until a team from Chicago discovered her & burned her out completely, by hitting 17 & by surrendering hands of 17, 18, & even 19; with $1000 + bets on the table. Talk about killing the goose that laid the golden egg!
It's entirely possible that you just killed a future superstar. Not to mention the risk you took, of being identified as someone who knew something.
