Jeez! Is it written some where in the rules of BJ that I pull a ten when I have a 12??
It's gotten to the point where I expect to bust if I have 12. When I don't, I'm shocked. If I happen to pull a nine then I'm dumbfounded.
(BTW, this is out of any sort of statistical norm!)
That's my rant.

What this means is that usually there is some sort of perception bias, in that it annoys you so much you remember it out of any sort of statistical norm. Its like getting dealt 16. You remember those.Quote: BigJer(BTW, this is out of any sort of statistical norm!)

Just be like the other players and never hit twelve. It seems to always work for them.
Casinos are not your friends, they want your money. But so does Disneyland.
And there is no chance in hell that you will go to Disneyland and come back with more money than you went with.

I find the thing I remember most is when the dealer pulls out 21s when the count is good using small cards and I have a big hand. It's because I have bigger bets out there and it's a stab to the heart.

BTW I read Grosjean's article about why many independent events may tend towards a certain number is the "denominator" not the numerator. Think about that......

No. Most AP strategies are only used by APs and not 99.9% of the blackjack players.
