Blackjack Myth #5: Bad players can affect your game
While nothing would be better than to blame other players for getting a bad hand in blackjack, realistically it will not affect your long term play. Yes, a bad play by another player can alter a couple of possible hands but only in the short term. One of the basic rules of being successful at blackjack is to think long term.

Bad Players at the Table Hurt Your Chances
Many blackjack players believe that having bad players at the table hurt their chances of winning. If a player hits when he should have stayed or stays when he should have hit then many of the other players at the table may believe that this is throwing off the flow of the game, messing with the order of the cards and hurting the chances of all the other players at the table. This goes along with the following myths-that the order of the cards is sacred and that you should avoid choosing the last position at the table.
In reality, mathematically speaking, bad players have no real effect on the outcome of the game. While they may throw off your concentration or get on your nerves, it's a myth that they can seriously affect your chances by playing at your table.

Which of the following statements about blackjack is true?
- You should always take insurance or even money when you are dealt a blackjack.
- Unskilled players will hurt other players' chances.

Surprise! All of the above statements are FALSE, yet if I polled typical blackjack players, most would have said the above statements are true
