Blackjack

Here's the deal. As I posted elsewhere I will be going to Vegas in a few months. When I go to Vegas I love playing craps. I have no concerns about knowing the rules, the different bets, the odds, etc.. In fact I've actually had to correct the dealer a few times on the payouts. Essentially, when it comes to craps I will step to any table anywhere and feel totally comfortable.

Then there is blackjack. I'm totally afraid of blackjack. It stems from the notion that my play can "ruin the hand" for the rest of the table. On several occasions at the local Indian casino I have been accused of taking the dealers bust card. I personally don't believe this. I think taking the dealers bust card is an excuse other players at the table use.

I think I need to play the best hand I can regardless of what the others at the table are showing. I'm not talking about being reckless, but I have to play to win.

Here's what I want to know; what is your level of play and what are your thoughts on one player being able to turn the table?
