Actually, Bro smilingbuddha is right to say that the statement is factually wrong.
I guess I did not phase it correctly.
What I mean to say is that sometimes when you hit (or dun hit), the
other players may think you should do otherwise.
eg. someone hit with 15 (within the rule) got a 10 and bust. Next player got a 11 but hit a small card and eventually bust out. In this example, the next player may feel that if the player with 15 did not hit, he would have hit a 21.
Most will accept Bro Smarty2's view that it's playing by the rules of the games. And other players should usually accept it.
Now imagine the guy drawing 15 bet min and the next player bet a few hundred. You can see how problematic things can escalate. And like I say, I have seen it quite frequently actually.
Ah.. but I have just been catching up on bros smilingbuddha and JohnTKS posts and it seems that both are seasoned players who probably understood what I mean in the first place.
So this clarification is ultimately unnecessary.
And bro JohnTKS's experience of being insulted, scolded and threaten is what I have witnessed many times in the casinos.
The theory is always great and all but the practical reality is another matter altogether. Science and mathematics is a beautiful thing and it does explain many things in life.
Unfortunately, human emotion is not something that can be computed or explain with a string of equations. And all of us are not as logical as we think. If we are, casinos would never exist in the first place.
