See Superstition #3 below:
THREE COMMON BLACKJACK VOODOO SUPERSTITIONS
Voodoo Superstition #1 � �You shouldn�t play with bad players at the table.�
Whether they play well or badly, it has no long-term effect on your results. Sure, a stupid play made by a stupid player may sometimes affect the immediate hand being played. But, in the long run, bad players have no effect on your results. To think otherwise is to succumb to voodoo superstition.
For most new players, playing at reasonably low stakes with no �cover� needs, it�s important to have as few other players at the table as possible, to maximize your hands per hour. Preferably, of course, there are NO other players at your table.
However, whether another player is a good one or a bad one (and the bad ones outnumber the good ones by at least a 100-1 margin!) should make no difference to you. You shouldn�t even be aware of how other players play, except to count their cards. Tough to do at first, but eventually, it will become automatic
Voodoo Superstition #2 � �The player at third base �took the dealer�s bust card.��
Again, voodoo superstition. This is actually an extension of Voodoo Superstition #1. The play of the player at third base has no greater effect than the play of any other player at the table. It�s just more obvious, since it�s easier to deduce what card the dealer �would have gotten� or �wouldn�t have gotten� if the third base player had played the hand differently. But, again, in the long run, the play of the third base player has no effect on your results.
Voodoo Superstition #3 � �A counter should always sit at third base.�
When counting, it�s slightly helpful to sit at or near third base, if you�re forced to play with other players at the table, so you can see more cards before it�s your turn to make a playing decision. However, it�s not always possible, and has the negative aspect that pit personnel frequently think, �Counters always sit at third base,� and therefore may scrutinize your play more than they might otherwise.
The long-term effect of where you sit at the table on your Expected Win Rate is negligible.
The dealer knows nothing. He is simply trying to get into your pants. The pockets, I mean.
The correct answer involves a careful analysis according to the rules of feng shui. You should always sit at a seat which is in a straight line toward the casino door. This has the effect of placing you in the path of any wealth which is escaping from the casino, in addition to letting you escape faster if they catch on to your counting.
An additional rule I follow is always . . . no, no, never . . . no, that was right, always wear rubber-soled shoes. In addition to preventing you from being grounded if an electrical wire falls on you, this allows you to run faster without risk of slipping.
