Please don't put words in my virtual mouth. For what it is worth, I agree
that the play of other individuals at the table, in the long run, has no
impact on my success. As long as they don't jump into the game mid-shoe.
What I object to, and did comment on, was mid-shoe entry...it is the
intrusion into the shoe that bothers me ... not the "good" or "bad" play
that the intruder exhibits. It is a matter of BJ etiquette.
I know the industry came up the mid-shoe entry bar to prevent "Wonging".
Every now and then the suits make an error that hurts them and helps
players...barring mid-shoe entry was one of them.
