No matter if it is a newbie, some people jumping in and out of the shoe, or people standing on their 14 against a face card.... none of it matters. Just play every one of YOUR HANDS according to the optimum betting strategy, and you have the best odds.
They also claim that no type of aggressive or passive betting works long run. Whether you are doing some of the more known methods, or you are doing your own type of 1/2/3/min etc..

What other players do does not affect what you should do at all. It is amazing how ignorant people are of this.
The house will always have the advantage unless you are counting cards (correctly). Most people who play do not even know basic strategy and many that do don't realize it can vary depending on the table rules.
Check this Basic Strategy Engine. Be sure to set the table rules on the left.
