Just asking. Maybe I don't understand how other people playing like fucking idiots doesn't effect my hand.
Yes, I claim basic strategy and I stay on 16s, after playing a LOT of hard 16 hands and it seems I ALWAYS bust no matter what. It's not an emotion it's just how it is. I always double soft 15.

Yes, in your first example, it does affect your outcome. But player 1 just as easily could have pulled a 5 and then the dealer pulled the bust card. It's an avg over time. People just get emotional over the loss and remember the time player 1 took the bust card. They conveniently forget when the newb stayed on 15 against a dealer face and pulled a 6. Then the dealer turns over a 5 and the next card out is a face. The point is people playing like fucking idiots affects your outcome both positively and negatively.
And basic strategy is not staying on 16's or always doubling soft 15's. By altering the math with these two scenarios your negatively affecting your % win chance.
And ironically enough when you stay on 16 against a dealer face the player next to you thinks you're the fucking idiot and might be affecting their outcome (which you're not).
