how do i handle this situation in blackjack?

[Teddykgb]

im playing 3rd base and i get dealt an 11 everyone to my right has rags and they all stay,the dealers up card is either a 4,5 or 6.now do i double down in hopes of getting a 10 even though i know if i do its possible i just took the dealers bust card and if it was to be his bust card but now somehow he ends up with 20 and im the only winner should i expect backlash of some sort?

Dude, you need to take an assertiveness class before you do anything else. In life YOU come first. Its your hard earned money you're playing out there. You come across wimpy asking that question. If you are a woman Teddy, do what you have to do take a hit people will call you a bitch but hey who cares your're not there for them, you are there to win.

 

[Teddykgb]

yeah your right im a little wimpy and its the reason i never play 3rd always 1st i guess i always new the answer to the question

 

[~Falco~]

My response sounded harsh. sorry. Take a hit Teddy you'll feel better for it in the long run. good luck

 

[Teddykgb]

thanks,im hitting vegas sunday on my way home from the grand canyon i'll try to get the stones up to try 3rd base. maybe a couple of cocktails will do

Black Jack is not a team sport... Hit thst shit andgo home a winner .... Dont worry when playing 3rd base the other players most often will get you before you get them... So let them be mad when you win... And you can bet they will screw you before you have a chance to screw them....... Good Luck....

Cant win if you don't Play!!!!

double down or stick to slots.

 

Teddy,the reason I never bitch at another player at a BJ table is because everyone is allowed to play thier cards the way they see fit.Even if it makes no sense whatsoever.BTW double down.

 

double down with your 11...against a 4-5-6 all the time bro!!! show some BALLS!!

 

[TJBELL]

I agree Teddy. great spot to double down!!

Worry about #1. If they don't like the way you play, they can go to the next table. I've done it if the anchor person sucks!!

just my 2 cents. GL by the way!!

I have palyed BJ for many years and If I were at your table I would be mad if you didn't take the hit. You gotta play right -Like everyone else said it's your money!

Gotta double down. Even if the rest of the table loses, no one should hold it against you cus they woud have done the exact same thing. That sounds like a horrible situation to be in btw

teddy, straight from the hood, worry about your money and your people money , if they not your people , play the way u want , dont worry about there money, they can leave and play at another table or u can do the same,

i know what u mean , dealers , players , people behind u telling u what to do, i been playing black jack since i was 7 i know the rules , when to hit or not to hit, when to double or not, it called gambling and i like too take risk,,

if u let people control your money dont play
or play online and get robb by the rigged casinos

 

[bulldog77]

Anybody that would get on you for doubling down on that hand is an absolute moron and if they leave the table so much the better. Play your cards the right way for you and forget it. Your play is just as likely to help the others at the table as hurt them. Good luck and good cards!

This is the most unbeleivably childish thread I have ever seen. Is there any sort of age requirement to participate on this board? Is this question (?) actually serious.
Oh, by the way.....
If an ice pick was dropping on the center of one of my nuts, what should I do? Get out of the way or offer up the second nut?
You gotta be sh!tting me!

Pack

o.k. thats 14-0 to take a card i get it now,i just thought maybe someone would say not too and have a valid reason behind it.you dont know if you dont ask.as for those offended by the question SORRY!!!

 

[3peet]

Screw table ettequite (spelling) and the team mentality! Take the double down as you double down on ANY 11 with the dealer up showing 2-6.

besides odds are the dealer still has to go through 6 or less to win.

I'd double down without hesitation.

just my 2 cents
