This is going to be an unusual one for the sub, as far as I can tell.

So I was playing Blackjack at a casino last night. The shoes are all favoring the dealer to an insane degree. Doesn't matter what hand you have, the dealer wins. So I start playing a bit unorthodox because of the situation.

Enter the Old Man. Old man just left some other game, Texas Hold Em IIRC, where he lost his ass. He sits down with ~$25. First hand he's at the table the dealer's showing a 5 and I had a 12. I hit because why the fuck not? I have a better chance of winning than not because every other hand, played by the book, has been a loser. I play in to the break and he decides to chastise me for it. OK old man, stick around for a while.

We're all treading water for a while, staying close to even, but Old Man is obviously getting frustrated as well and he plays in to a break. So I chastised him for playing in to a break like he did me, and then he starts playing *horribly*. He was the first seat at the table, and it started fucking up everyone's hands. We were all a little pissed since the shoes sucked, and he wasn't helping.

For those of you that don't know, you split Aces and Eights. That's a rule. You get double Aces/Eights, you split 'em. Well I got double Sevens. I leaned to the dude to my left and said "I bet this'll piss him off..." and split my Sevens. Holy shit, the dealer got mad, the old man got mad, even one or two guys at the table were upset...and that old man took his chips and stormed off. I think he had $20-30. The dealer laughed and told me I was an asshole.

After he fucked off the table started winning.

So am I the asshole for pissing off some Old Man that was needlessly fucking up the table?
