2- Player has hijack (last seat) and has 6 against dealer 6 showing and hits to an 11. Player hits and at least 2 players at the table tell him to stay so dealer can take bust card (Actual quote: "If he takes the 10 everyone wins and not just you."). Hijack correct play or do the 2 others have a point?
Thanks.
1. Just about anything can happen and you certainly can call the floor. Is there a situation that needs to be, should be, or virtually ever will be rectified, no. The dealer went above and beyond in one case and didn't in the other. I'm sure you can see how exposed they would be if they made this policy (hint, you should almost always keep giving the hit sign until you bust). You wouldn't seek restitution from a civilian who once saved a man from a burning building but did not manage to do so in all other cases, would you?
2. The two others have a point if they are doing something the house would rather they not do (and/or may be illegal), such as finding a way to identify the next card before it comes. Otherwise, obviously they don't.
