I saw this ploppy a lot and he seems to be a winner every time at my table. First, he only plays at the suspicious clumping ASM table casino. However, he seems to find a way for ploppies to increase EV. His simple modification is to hit all 12 when his hand doesn't contain a face card. He said ASM clump the same card in a group. As long as not hitting a face card, 12 and another card will be safe. (This also implies that he hit every multiple card 12 against 2/3/4/5/6. And he also hit 13 against 2/3/4/5/6 as long as his hands doesn't contain a face card or a nine card based on the same theory.) I like being at his table. His play makes my index play much easier. The worst for me is to play with a table full of Basic Strategy experts who make a big deal on plays deviated from BS. So I encourage him talking other ploppies into hitting 12 against not just 2 and 3, but 4, 5 and 6. Even if clumping turns out to be not true, it really hurts little for him based on the history I saw. Actually I think this ploppy win more hands than me. I just win more on max bet hands. So next time when some ploppy ask you why you hit 12 against 4, tell him someone told you you should hit 12 as long as it contains no face card and it is a good advise from whom won at BJ table.
