You may have been playing at a table where everything appears to be going according to plan. All of a sudden, someone walks up to the table and does something so stupid it messes up the game for everyone.

In these situations it is important to keep a cool head and concentrate on your own game. You may be unfortunate enough to play with someone who appears to be in the casino purely to make a daily donation to them or to bother everyone else who is there playing and having a good time. It is best just to ignore them and go about your normal game strategy as though they werent there. However, certain situations sometimes prevent this from being a viable option.

You may have been at a hot blackjack table but everything comes to a screeching halt because somebody on third base decided to split tens against a dealer face card. The reason they sat down on third base was to help control the cards and they pull a slick move such as this.

Inevitably, the first ten split takes the dealers bust card, but low and behold, because of this smart play, the dealer pulls out a 20 or 21. What should you do? Tolerate it, scream and yell? No, realise they can play their hand any way they choose to and so can you. Walk over to another table and play there. It will not get any better with this guy on the table so its in your best interests to find another one.

Craps is another game where you will often see a lot of distractions. You may have someone who continually throws in their last minute bets or the dice will eventually hit the guys money or hand and throw a seven.

On some occasions they can bring a little of the beginners luck to the table but if they are throwing the dice off the table and hitting the chips and glass with each toss, find another one to play on.

You will find it is a tough task to find the right table in order for you to play at and accomplish your goals for the day. If it becomes too intolerable and you cant get into your game properly then take some time out. Go to the pool, enjoy the entertainment the city offers or switch to a different casino entirely, but dont spend your money at a duff table.
