    The point is that responding with what is wrong with a post is useful to other readers. Responding with a growing list of insults that generate yet more insults is disruptive and useful to no one.

Normally I would have won my double or make a hand but because hole carder did not play by the book and has an odd play, I end up busting or getting small card for my double. From my experience, if a hole carder is present, the whole table lose. Should I avoid hole carder?
    I believe this was a deliberate attempt at provoking other members for your own amusement.

    There are a lot of knowledgeable people here but i think some need to learn to communicate in a proper respectful manner (effective). I can't change someone's mind . they can only change it themself and i can persuade them .

    Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer. The OP should know the answer to his question. By his logic, the first base player on a true "Double Exposure" game would screw everybody else over.

    This has been said too many times.....

    OTHER PLAYERS PLAY AT THE TABLE HAVE NO LONG TERM EFFECT ON YOURS!!!!

    One related question. Ploppy A always splits pairs including pair of face cards and tends to hit. Ploppy B never hits if it can bust his hand. Which one at present would have more negative effect on AP? Or both have no effect at all?

    What is so hard for you to understand? How others play, be it one ploppy or three other ploppies, splitting 10’s or never hitting, it does NOT matter. It will have just as much a positive effect as a negative effect, in the long run, no effect.

    In the example you give, first ploppy splits 10,s gets a 6 and a 6 on each of his tens, stands on his 16,s, the second ploppy is not hitting his 5 and 7 (12 total), you double on your 9,2 against a dealer 9, and you get a 10 for a 21 total, dealer ends up with 18. Both ploppies lose, you get a double down win! If the first ploppy had not split his 10’s, the second ploppy had not stood, you would have lost that double down. You should be kissing those ugly ploppies instead of bitching on this forum.

    On average, ploppy usually leave when the count getting higher, so they help.

    They transfer money to dealer, and the dealer transfer that money to you, that’s another point of help.

    I'm assuming something was lost in translation, but I'm guessing he's trying to say that ploppies lose money to the casino, allowing APs to play.
