Date: March 8th, 2021 9:59 AM Author: Adventurous Useless Brakes I don't want to get into it w you but it does if you are counting and are expecting a certain card as a high probability or wish to avoid a certain card which is out there and coming up with a high probability and then the player ahead of you "incorrectly" hits and draws the card you wanted or alternatively hoped to avoid. But in reality most proles aren't really counting anyway, so it doesn't matter. Also, you shouldn't be "counting" under casino rules anyway, per se. |

Date: March 8th, 2021 10:12 AM Author: Adventurous Useless Brakes See above.
But no one is counting cards like that so as a practical thing it doesn't matter.
But yes, technically, if a person were counting cards, it might make a difference to the person that you didn't follow usual protocol because your action changes the likelihood of drawing another card in a way different from had you simply stood.
But as I said, in reality no one is doing that. |
|
Date: March 8th, 2021 10:13 AM Author: Khaki wonderful menage sneaky criminal Your above "explanation" is wrong and you not understanding that you are just explaining the fallacy a different way makes you retarded.
It doesn't change the probabilities at all ex ante. Your random card has already been assigned in both scenarios and for both scenarios the random card is random |

You understand right, "unless you are counting." That bit pushes the cliche "That it doesnt make any difference" which we all know about and isn't noteworthy at all out to a point where it does make a difference, and becomes interesting, which is why I said it.
Sometimes I'm either too smart or too stupid for this board, but in either event I lack the wisdom to avoid engagement. |

Date: March 8th, 2021 10:25 AM Author: Adventurous Useless Brakes I've responded below.
If you are counting it makes a difference because you then have to reappraise the likelihood that you will or will not get certain cards. That's all I'm saying. It's basic probability dude. |
|
Date: March 8th, 2021 10:29 AM Author: Mind-boggling naked national security agency Does it give you pause that like 5 different people are telling you you're wrong here?

Date: March 8th, 2021 10:56 AM Author: Adventurous Useless Brakes it hasnt been explained at all. TBF, I think we are talking at cross purposes about the same thing ultimately. I'm surprised no one has realized that.
I am saying it doesn't make a difference.
The only way it would make a difference at all in any aspect of the game would be if the other player was running a complicated assessment of the relative probabilities of drawing each card. He would have to amend his calculations if you hit and took a card out of the realm of probability. that amending of probabilities could either be more or less favorable to him than it was previously. This adjustment of probabilities may or may not affect his decision to hit or stand.
BUT, as a practical matter, no one is that smart and it's silly for proles to get mad because no one is actually running that assessment in their head. And if they are, they shouldn't be! |

|
Date: March 8th, 2021 10:17 AM Author: Adventurous Useless Brakes Great! Looking for an explanation as to how I'm wrong.
Understand all I'm saying is that you deviating from the usual course of play modifies the probability that the player next to you will or won't get a more or less desirable card.
And if they were actually counting--which they aren't--this modification on the respective probabilities of drawing certain cards would cause them to reappraise their next move in light of your deviation and draw.
It's basic probability, folks. |
|
Date: March 8th, 2021 10:19 AM Author: Khaki wonderful menage sneaky criminal No, no it's not. I explained above. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4782366&forum_id=2Reputation#42067204) |
|
Date: March 8th, 2021 10:20 AM Author: Mind-boggling naked national security agency sure. now understand that a prole fucking up and hitting on 18 or whatever could be either beneficial or harmful to the card counter (or even neutral!), in a normally distributed fashion. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4782366&forum_id=2Reputation#42067208) |
|
Date: March 8th, 2021 10:23 AM Author: Adventurous Useless Brakes Oh dear.
We seem to be missing each other.
Regardless of what card comes up on the prole's fuck up, the probability that the next player will or will not draw a certain card has been modified ASSUMING THE PLAYER IS COUNTING CARDS.
But no one is. |
|
Date: March 8th, 2021 10:24 AM Author: Khaki wonderful menage sneaky criminal You need to stop conflating "modified" with "hurting" or "helping".
That's where you are getting lost. |
|
Date: March 8th, 2021 10:28 AM Author: Adventurous Useless Brakes I don't think so. Because if you are modifying your assessment of probabilities for drawing individual cards as a result of the player next to you not following the rules, then you are "helped" OR "hurt" in a global sense depending on whether the new set of probabilities is more favorable or not.

Date: March 8th, 2021 11:22 AM Author: disrespectful puce brethren Spaceporn when people count cards the objective is to identify when the deck is “hot” ie has more face cards so they (or a partner) can up the bet. Counting doesn’t grant some clairvoyant or probabilistic knowledge about the *sequence* of cards that are yet to come. A hot deck is still hot regardless of whether every player in front of you plays optimally or fucks around.
Yes, a player in front of you playing non-optimally *alters* the next card you were going to get, but the card is still random. The other player hitting/standing like a dumb prole is just as likely to help you, hurt you, or have no effect on your ultimate result.
Random is random. A skilled card counter knows when the deck composition is leaning in their favor and thus bets more, but the sequence of cards laid out from the moment they determine the deck is “hot” is still a random sequence. Other players moving the button by 1-2 cards will flip would be wins to losses and vice versa, but no more (or less) so than when they do the same on a cold deck or one that’s just been reshuffled and still has ALL of the cards in the shoe.
You are wrong |
|
Date: March 8th, 2021 11:31 AM Author: Adventurous Useless Brakes I'm not really saying anything contrary to this assessment though. That's what's so funny.
All I'm saying is, to use your term, if a naive player makes a wrong play that shifts the flavor of the deck from favorable to nonfavorable for the next guy, and the next guy is aware of that, that's why he would get mad at the player next to him. And he might make decisions on how to play a currently unfavorable deck and those decisions would be different than how he would have played before. And be irritated he has to change his appraisal to one less favorable to him now that the composition of the cards remaining has been changed.
Honestly, I'm not wrong. Either I'm not explaining it well enough or someone here is being aspie or there are a couple people who don't understand probability or who constitutionally can't think beyond the cliche or what.
|
|
Date: March 8th, 2021 11:37 AM Author: Umber electric institution gunner Being annoyed at someone pulling a face card because it makes the deck less favorable is totally irrational. It could just as easily have made the deck more favorable. And regardless, nobody else at the table has an obligation to make the deck more favorable for you.
Anybody worth a damn at counting cards wouldn't fall prey to such emotional thinking |

|
Date: March 8th, 2021 11:33 AM Author: Lime Center Toilet Seat If we are talking about annoying other players - if the other player is a card counter:
1) when player before plays incorrectly, the card counter may have to reassess his decision based on the additional cards pulled - could be annoying.
2) while the decision to play badly does or not does not have any impact on whether it will help or hurt the card counter, after the player plays badly, additional cards will have been removed from the stack which can either make it more likely or less likely that the counters previous determination (that the deck is hot or not) is still likely to be the case, and that can be annoying? |
|
Date: March 8th, 2021 11:33 AM Author: Adventurous Useless Brakes This is exactly what I'm getting at.
Thought I was losing my mind w the responses here. I think they get argumentative just because they think "SP is dumb there's no way he's right" |
|
Date: March 8th, 2021 11:45 AM Author: Mind-boggling naked national security agency The point is this:
If Player A (prole) plays irrationally, it can change the makeup of the deck such that Player B (card counter) will have to alter his strategy. But the prole's irrational play is equally likely to swing the deck from cold to hot as hot to cold (or from hot to hotter or from cold to colder).
Whether Player A plays optimally or not has no bearing on Player B's expected return, because it all comes out in the wash. |
|
Date: March 8th, 2021 11:48 AM Author: Adventurous Useless Brakes No, see you've backed up a little bit because you didnt want to concede you got it wrong in the beginning. But that's okay--it happens.
But your second paragraph "Whether Player A plays optimally or not has no bearing on Player B's expected return, because it all comes out in the wash." makes no sense in light of the first paragraph, because you are still trying to hang on to your original position. First paragraph directly contradicts second. Can you see how?
We are only talking about instances where other players get mad because you made an irrational play. They would get mad not when favorability increases, right? They would get mad when it decreases for them based on your bad play. |

|
Date: March 8th, 2021 11:52 AM Author: Lime Center Toilet Seat I agree with them. You aren't annoyed at player A's decision to play poorly regardless of the results of what he draws, you are annoyed at the results of chance (which you shouldn't be as a rational card counter) - same as if you get a shitty card yourself. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4782366&forum_id=2Reputation#42067834) |
|
Date: March 8th, 2021 11:58 AM Author: Adventurous Useless Brakes Their position has changed though, from saying it makes no difference whatsoever to the cards the counter thereafter draws, to saying now that I've explained it a dozen times that it does make a difference but it would be irrational to be angry with the bad player because well, that's the part of the assessment of favorabiltiy or unfavorabiltiy.
They are at least now conceding that the decisions of a bad actor change the favorabilty/unfavorability rating for the player who is counting cards thereafter. It took forever to get to this point at least.
Whether the counter is mad at the poor player for playing irrationally and tilting the balance unfavorable (in such a situation) or is simply mad that the balance has now tilted unfavorable isnt really material to the original discussion and frankly is a lot less interesting.
At leats now we can all agree that YES, the player who plays irrationally Changes The Assessment for a Card Counter. Which was my original point. |

|
Date: March 8th, 2021 12:17 PM Author: Adventurous Useless Brakes Well, you can say the player shouldnt get mad because 1) it makes no difference to the probability assessments for a card counter, or 2) it's irrational for the counter to get mad because it's just a game jeez.
Up until this moment, the general consensus was that 1 applied. I dont care whether 2 applies or not. my concern was that no one seemed to understand that number 1 above isnt really mathematically correct. |
|
Date: March 8th, 2021 12:17 PM Author: Lime Center Toilet Seat that's no different than a non card counter getting angry that the bad player stole the 8 he needed and he ended up busting out on a 10. He is annoyed that chance did not give him what he wanted, but there is no rational reason to be mad at the bad player, which is the whole point of this thread - the card counting is irrelevant.

As for card counting--no "what i originally said was that if someone gets mad because i make an irrational play I say to them so what you arent counting cards anyway" thats what prompted the initial bevy of innumerate responses which I've been responding to. |

Date: March 8th, 2021 12:22 PM Author: Lime Center Toilet Seat the point is that the only reason you would have to be mad as a card counter, is the same irrational "mad at bad luck" nonsense that would make any idiot mad that their card got "stolen" by the person before them. They are mad at the results of chance, which card counters should never be. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4782366&forum_id=2Reputation#42068093) |

FWIW i think the car pulling in front of one comparison is apt. Why did this dumbass irrationally pull in front of me--now i have to tap my brakes.
That guy shouldnt get mad either. It's just the nature of driving that some people will pull in like fools. Right?

Date: March 8th, 2021 2:58 PM Author: sepia garrison LOL how did I miss this gem before. No spaceporn, you complete retard, the brake tapping analogy is NOT apt and it completely illustrates what you don't understand.
If a retard pulls in traffic he SHOULD know it's going to fuck your shit up and it definitely will fuck your shit up.
For it to be analogous, the retard's decision to pull into traffic would NOT affect the probability you'll have to slam on the brakes at all at the time he makes the decision. the probability of you "losing" (or having to slam on the brakes) is not affected by the retard's decision. it is fully out of the retard's hands. you would have been as likely to need to slam on the brakes if he's just stayed in his lane. i repeat, the act of him staying in his lane would have fucked you with equal probability as pulling into yours. is this making sense to you now? |

Date: March 8th, 2021 11:38 AM Author: disrespectful puce brethren Wut?
A counter has to continue tracking low and high cards no matter what. That’s just called maintaining the “count.”
Whether the players in front draw more cards or fewer cards than they should, the counter must keep the count for EVERY card drawn. Thus, there is obviously no impact on strategy but also no “annoyance” — every card that some other player’s play makes them track was a card they were going to have to track anyway. That is the bedrock essence of what maintaining a count is.
People are so bad at probability holy fucking crap |

Date: March 8th, 2021 11:49 AM Author: Lime Center Toilet Seat this is not probability - it's simply a question of whether it is rational or likely for someone to be annoyed at having to maintain the count for 1-2 additional cards than he expected to before it's his turn to play.
If what you are saying is that it is irrational to get upset at the probability changing against your favor after a bad play, because the decision to do so made no difference before the fact - I agree with you. You aren't annoyed at what the person did, you are annoyed at the results of chance, just as if you did not pull a card you preferred yourself. |

the second annoyance is irrational, because you are mad at the result not the decision. And the result is based on chance. Same as the non counter idiot getting mad that his card was stolen effectively. |

Date: March 8th, 2021 12:03 PM Author: Adventurous Useless Brakes Sure. Don't disagree w any of that.

|
Date: March 8th, 2021 12:00 PM Author: Adventurous Useless Brakes Yeah, you don't get it. You are missing the point. It's a matter of probabiltiy.
The irrational play of another player affects the favorability/disfavorability quotient for subsequent players who are engaged in counting cards. When the remaining cards are now less favorable globally because the niave player hit when he should stand, yes, the card counter is going to get irritated, and yes it affects his probabilities for his own play. |
|
Date: March 8th, 2021 12:02 PM Author: sepia garrison "When the remaining cards are now less favorable globally because the niave player hit when he should stand"
except that they could just as easily be MORE favorable. holy fucking god you're so fucking dumb. |
|
Date: March 8th, 2021 12:06 PM Author: Adventurous Useless Brakes Of course, I ahve never said otherwise. But when the favorabiltiy is now LESS, that's when the counter gets annoyed. Not when the favorabiltiy is MORE. We have been talking about when the counter is MAD, not when he isn't.
It's clear to me you are now backtracking a little bit. I'm not expecting an apology but you can at least stop w the "spaceporn is stupid" schtick ITT. |
|
Date: March 8th, 2021 12:09 PM Author: sepia garrison Carefully explain to me exactly what I'm backtracking from you fucking retard.
The fact that the favorability is now LESS and not MORE is equally probable so being MAD about the result is irrational because the player playing badly had no effect on you. You would be as rational to be upset about the way the cards were ordered after shuffling. Are you seriously not understanding this?? |

"It does not put you in a less favorable position overall. People have explained this to you like 20 ways ITT. You are objectively, mathematically wrong."
You now say it could be less favorable or it could be more favorable. (But if its more favorable the counter isnt going to get mad)

Date: March 8th, 2021 12:18 PM Author: sepia garrison You are so fucking dumb. If somebody making decision X has an equal probability of putting you in a more or less favorable decision then it is irrational to be mad that they made decision X. That's the whole point of this thread. You won't find out whether it helped or hurt you until you see the result, and either is equally likely. It makes no sense to be mad then.

Date: March 8th, 2021 11:00 AM Author: Adventurous Useless Brakes "another player playing suboptimally would not matter at all to the counter."
It does IF the irrational removal of a card in play by the player in immediately in front of the counter forces a change in strategy by the counter based on him having to change his assessment of current probabilities because he was expecting the player next to him to play rationally and he didnt. |
|
Date: March 8th, 2021 11:27 AM Author: disrespectful puce brethren No. There isn’t some complex decision tree “strategy” in card counting that they must “reasses” and refine based on the precise sequence of cards just before. There is only ONE strategy: bet more on a hot deck. The sequence of cards you land is still totally random whether a deck is hot or cold. And the person in front of you taking one or two face cards out of the sequence by playing suboptimally is meaningless because a deck doesn’t go from hot to cold based on 1 or 2 cards.
Yes the play in front of you may alter the ultimate outcome from win to loss, but it can also alter it from loss to win or it may not have an effect on your result. The counters strategy does not change at all based on the play of others. |
|
Date: March 8th, 2021 11:33 AM Author: Adventurous Useless Brakes Well, now you are just talking about how "counting" cards usually goes.
But even if you are correct that there's no way to get as specific with the probabiltiy assignments as I make out to the point where it would make a difference, you do seem to concede my point--that the play of the player next to a card counter can change the lay of the land GLOBALLY in such a way that the counter has new information that must be added to his assessment of the favorability of the remaining cards. |

Everyone started flipping out, which intensified when I got a face card 😂 and REALLY intensified when the dealer then got a 6 instead of my face card and made 21 (😂 x 1000). One of the guys got so mad that I started goading him into trying to fight me (I said something like "oh no, did you just lose your bus fare home, faggot?"), so he kicked his chair over and started screaming, which led to him being forcibly ejected from the shithole Atlantic City casino we were in. My crowning achievement came slightly after, when the humorless asian started dealing again and the boomers were still bitching at me. I said "sorry guys, I'm new at this, cut a 19 year old some slack", then did a 180 and walked away when they carded me (I actually was only 19).

And my colleague said, "Yeah, it's just not how you play." and that was that, w me bewildered as to the relevancy and why I HAD to play a certain way.

Date: March 8th, 2021 3:20 PM Author: Adventurous Useless Brakes You can say what you want but an irrational hit when the person behind you should have stood either tips the balance of the cards for you or against you. It's just basic math--I'm not making that up. The literal pool of available options has been reduced by one. That's just math. And if you are counting, you will see that, and you will likely be unhappy w the player who played irrationally if your own probability of success is reduced thereby--and yes that means BEFORE you play your hand. It's as simple as that. I can't make it any simpler. The pool of available cards has dropped, when if the niave player had played in a predictable fashion, the same set would have come to the counter for play. You can tell me it doesn't matter that much or it's silly to get mad at the naive player for doing that thing and that's fine, but it doesn't address the OP I made, which is:
Next time it happens just say "I know you aren't counting cards, man, what difference does it make."
You can call me names or whatever but it's just basic math. You can tell me the counter should just chill out and not be mad, sure, but was that my OP?
As for being "pedantic," I don't think Earl knows what the word means, frankly. Nor do I think the poasters swarming around Earl on this actually understand basic probability, or they didn't when I first explained it to them a handful of times. Some of them apparently don't understand this even now.

Date: March 8th, 2021 5:17 PM Author: Lime Center Toilet Seat it's not about what happens before you play YOUR hand, its about how you perceive the naive players decision to hit before he plays HIS hand.
Before he plays his hand, his decision to play or not play does not make it more or less likely for you to win.
If you are unhappy with his decision after he plays it and the card he pulls makes your situation shittier, that is an irrational unhappiness with the decision. It is simply unhappiness with the result of a game of chance, same as if you were hoping for a face card and got stuck with a 4, irrespective oh what anyone does before you. |

Date: March 8th, 2021 5:41 PM Author: Adventurous Useless Brakes ? It's effectively an annoying risk-taking decision until you see what he drew. Then if it hurts you, you aren't happy w his decision to deviate from the norm. But again, I don't see how this has anything to do w the basic point. I mean, "shame on him for getting mad"--ugh, okay? Are you the thought police on when it's acceptable to get mad? Who cares! The point is that playing irrationally and hitting when you should stand does negatively impact other players if the card you draw negatively changes the favorable/not favorable on balance content of the remaining cards to be drawn. I dont see why you keep harping on the reasonableness of a person getting angry about that or not. |

In exactly the same way that playing rationally and standing when you should stand DOES negatively impact other players if the card you draw negatively changes the favorable/not favorable on balance content of the remaining cards to be drawn. Should you be mad at the person for playing rationally here because the effect ended up badly? Do you see how this crushes your entire "point" you moron?
You are an incredible retard. This cannot be overemphasized. |

Date: March 8th, 2021 5:53 PM Author: Adventurous Useless Brakes Lol you will be laughed at as a guy who literally cannot understand that taking one card out of a pile of cards affects the likelihood of other cards coming up in the next draw. You and your cohorts literally cannot understand this and have been puzzling over it all day like a chimp w a football.
And then, when you think you get my point, you try to argue that there's no difference if the guy hits or stands "because the data changes each time." I then remind you that no, ifhe hits he's taking a card out of the pile that could be drawn from so that changes things--for good or bad. If he Stands, then that DOES'NT change the pile. The subthread then dies.
So now you come back arguing w me that the counter has no right to be angry! It's just a game! This one sputters out, despite Earl's attempts to help you.
So then you go to the idea that, well, you shouldnt get mad when the niave guy wrongly plays because it's not until the card is drawn that you know whether it's a good play or a bad play for the counter! Uh, yeah! Who is saying otherwise. But when the card comes up and it changes the probabilities for the counter NEGATIVELY, then counter is going to be pissed the dude broke decorum and didnt play rationally and stand. That's why people get mad! They don't get mad until they see the negative consequence to them by changing the probabilities against them. That's how life works, son!
WHO is being pedantic, btw? The guy who just taught you about basic probability or the guy who wants to argue w me that it's not reasonable for the counter to get angry until he confirms that the previous play hurt him. It would be the latter, and also a lot of goalpoast pushing by the latter too. Good day, sir. |

im just pointing out that blackjack strategy is predicated on dealer sitting on a face and being dealt a face. so they are pissed when ppl make deck unnecessarily light (and never grateful the opposite way). you create edge in blackjack going big when the deck gets heavy. think about if deck was 75% face cards and ur playing with three ppl. everyone wins |

im just pointing out that if someone is cc > wagers big into a heavy deck > 9's against 6 > all the proles to his right hit on 12 and bust > cc is going to be pissed bc he would have split and doubled
cc is a grind and edge is in moments like this. u can out-autist the cc and say his anger is irrational but who's the asshole when you lose $20 and he stood to potentially have edge on a $1k hand |

what's the point of playing the hands if discretion is taken away from the players? |
|
Date: March 8th, 2021 5:45 PM Author: Adventurous Useless Brakes this is correct.
Literally no one understood that taking a hit when you should have stood can negatively or positively affect the other players who are counting cards. That was really the issue. And none of the SP haters here seemed to understand that concept in particular until it was explained to them in excrutiating detail. |
|
Date: March 8th, 2021 12:28 PM Author: Lime Center Toilet Seat I think what SP is missing (and what I was missing for about 15 seconds) is that it is irrational for a card counter to be annoyed by the results of what a bad player does, even if it alters his expected probability - because that is the same as a non card counter getting mad that the bad players "stole" his face card or whatever.
If the act does not help or hurt the probability of your success before the fact, if you are annoyed by the act after the fact, you are annoyed at your bad luck, not at what the player did.
Beyond this, SP is now being pedantic to avoid acknowledging that his initial thinking was wrong. |

Date: March 8th, 2021 12:38 PM Author: Lime Center Toilet Seat He's backtracking to the pedantic - "well it technically changes the odds after the fact" - which is true of all things. But the decision to be annoyed at the act is only rational if the act changes your expected probability before the act is taken, which is does not.
His brain needs to close the circle on the argument and realize that his card counting argument is the same as someone holding a 6 and a 5, mad that the dude before him took his King and left him with 4. |

Date: March 8th, 2021 5:49 PM Author: Adventurous Useless Brakes I dont think you know what the word "pedantic" means. And you seem fixated on when it is reasonable to get mad or not. Sort of like what you have done in other circumstances. Do you have an issue w people getting mad in traffic also?

Date: March 8th, 2021 9:03 PM Author: Appetizing Mad Cow Disease Water Buffalo You're still getting it though. It does not alter his probability. And if Spaceporn hit hit hits six little face cards against a dealers sixteen, the card counter may decide to split tens or something crazy.
A card counter only cares about the count getting high or low, which merely tells them to alter their strategy a little for high or low counts and to increase or decrease his bet, which already happened before Spaceporn hits on 17. |

You losing or winning the hand as a result of his bad play is exactly the same as you winning or losing the hand as a result of the cards you are dealt yourself.

Date: March 8th, 2021 1:19 PM Author: pungent multi-billionaire the subthread is people unsuccessfully trying to convince sp that it doesn't impact the probability. i think everyone recognizes that it is illogical, but understandable, for someone to get upset when someone's bad move literally impacts what would have happened if they played correctly. let be honest, i'm sure most people itt would silently seethe a bit if they wound up with a 13 doubling down because the guy before them busted hitting on 16 when the dealer was showing a 6.
edit: i see you said reasonable. it's unreasonable to be pissed at it. |

Spaceporn just digs his heels in and keeps making completely moronic multiparagraph posts just restating the same fallacy over and over even after like 20 people have tried to explain it to him. Reminds me of the story about MVS covering the Monty hall problem in her Parade column with thousands and thousands of people writing in who just could not get it |
