NYNY Blackjack
Only two players. You wouldn't believe the idiots playing 6-5, I'm going to clean up and give it a shot,
I'll also be making fun of the 6-5'ers.

That’s nothing compared to the people who play any kind of game like infinite blackjack I’ve got to deal with people splitting 20 and below as well as doubling soft 20 for shits and giggles

Honestly? That's one more than I expected (outside of a high roller room, at least) at a Strip casino. How many decks?

None of which affects you in the slightest.

Yeah there is nothing not a single person could do to convince me otherwise when they are for sure taking the cards that would bust the dealer.
And I love it when people say this because you are most likely a counter that is banking on the fact that EVERY card taken out affects the probabilities of something happening in the next hand, yet conveniently at times like this when someone says something like I did you want to bring up the law of large numbers. Are the probabilities of me getting specific hands increasing or decreasing?
By the way why would it be a -EV play if I take the card I’m not supposed to yet if someone else takes my card it’s still not a negative EV play?
I absolutely understand why but I want to hear it from you

It's not your card they're taking. They're taking a piece of paper, and the dealer then just gets another piece of paper. It's irrelevant whether the dealer gets the next card or the 5th subsequent card out of the shoe. The expectations are the same.
When you make a decision on your hand you alter the expected return of your hand. That's why taking the card "you aren't supposed to" alters your expected return. When another player subsequently takes a card "they aren't supposed to" it has zero effect on your hand and zero effect on the dealer's final expected total.
Cards are paper until they're flipped over. If you know the value of a card then it's no longer paper.

Looked to be 8 to me.
