It was driving me mad! I was going to say to him, WTF ARE YOU STEALING ALL THE DEALERS 10 CARDS FOR! DONT HIT ON 16 you fool! lol
keep in mind, I had about 300-600 per hand so it wasnt small and eventually I just got up and switched tables. Drove me mad though.
Contrary to popular belief, bad play by others at your table does not effect the expected value of your hand. Sometimes their bad play causes you to lose, sometime it causes you to win hands that you would have lost otherwise, people just tend not to notice the latter. Individual hands are affected, but the average effect is exactly 0. Cards are not marked on the back "dealer's bust card, please do not take", in the above example, the 1st card could have been a low card and a 2nd card a 10.
