Question About Casino Blackjack?

Do you HAVE to be considerate of the other players at the table? Is there some kind of "etiquette" or "code" regarding that?I realize that a bad play from one player can screw it up for everyone at the table except the person who made the play. One time when I was playing, there was a woman who kept doing the total opposite of basic strategy, but yet and still, she kept winning, while the rest of us were losing. Example, she would take a hit on 14 while the dealer was showing a 5. Her hit card would be a 7, so she would win, but the rest of us who "stood" with our 13's and stuff lost because the dealer didn't bust out!Everyone at the table was pissed at the time including me, but when I thought about it later, I said to myself "why should she care if we lost, as long as she won. She's here to win money for herself, not to make sure everyone wins". Do I HAVE to be considerate of the table,or can I do what I want to make sure I win, and say screw everyone else?

I personally feel like it's a much better experience if everyone is having fun and winning at the table.
Whenever one person is playing like an idiot, I typically go to another table.
Keep in mind that the casino watches what is happening.
A table loaded with players who play sound strategy will tip the odds away from the house 84 texas holdem casino poker folding table play free casino games let it ride poker.
Often the casino will send a player to a table to play poorly so that they can regain house advantage 84 texas holdem casino poker folding table.
You can't prove it, but it happens.

However if I am sitting at a table and the dealing is showing an up 5 and I have 11, I will double down and hope I catch the face card. The odds are in the case you mentioned that the dealer will bust since over half the deck will be higher than her 6 which would giver her 21. The way I look at it though is that the bet belongs to the player and they can play anyway they want. No one would have bitched if she had gotten a 6 and taken that away from the dealer.

This is why I like to have a table to myself whenever possible.
I've never had someone actually get mad at a play I made, but if it happened I'd tell them "when you're putting up the money for me to play, you can tell me how to play".
Play how you feel is best for you.
You're there for yourself, not the other 3 or 4 people at the table.

You should follow your own strategy, which mostly like will be the standard basic strategy in the books, and if you can't do that comfortably at the table, MOVE!
You are better off getting up and finding a table where you can be the anchor (last to act before the dealer) and can control the action more play free casino games let it ride poker.
Even if you can't find a seat like that, moving is your best bet since you will feel better about your game and won't be distracted by the nutball making the crazy plays, meaning you won't make as many mistakes and can maximize your winnings 84 texas holdem casino poker folding table.
