I've seen lots of bad ones, and I'm sure we all have, but this one was the best:

I sat at the Plaza last week downtown just to kill a few minutes, and this woman's sole goal was to get as much money on the table as possible:

- she doubled every total less than 11, regardless of dealer card
- she split every pair
- she would almost always hit with less than 16 when the dealer had 2 through 6, and almost always stand on 14-16 when the dealer had 7 through A. don't know why.

Worst hand:
dealt 33 against a dealer A. Split 'em!
get another 3. Split 'em!
First card - 4 for a 7 total. Double!
second card - 10 for a 13. Stand!
Third card - 2 for a 5. Double!

Dealer, of course, doesn't bust, and she slams the table. "Don't you know my luck! What are the odds?!"
