Default Re: Blackjack basic strategy - comments from other players at table

Tell them you've got a hunch.

There's nothing wrong with everyone at the table thinking you're a moron. If you actually do take a bust card -- tell them they were right, and that you will try to listen to them in the future. Ask them what books they've read about the game -- and try to sound impressed as you say "Wow!". Ask them if it's really advantageous to split Aces and 10's. When they say not to split tens -- tell them you'll think about it.

They're giving you free cover.
