I usually find that by the when playing at a $10 & up table, USUALLY everyone at the table plays basic stragedy. I realize that it does not affect the actual outcome over the long run, but I find it more enjoyable to play at a table where everyone knows what they are doing, as opposed to a table where one or more people are making wild-ass plays.

By the way, did you notice that whenever someone splits tens or hits a 16 against the dealer's six, they usually win and your whole argument against their play goes right out the window .
