How do you avoid the temptation of strangling bad players at third base? We know they don't have any effect on your expected gain, but sometimes they can be really annoying. What do you do when faced with that situation?
Find another table because that's a distraction I really don't need! You can just ignore them, you know, even if its hard to when they refuse to draw on a sub-ten hand and then the dealer draws out.

First of all, I try to never let someone else control how I feel. Works in all things life not just blackjack.
Be polite and ignore them.
FYI, many of those disgruntled people think I am the bad player because of the plays made when counting cards (hit my 12 against dealer 6 when count dictates). So be careful when you live in a glass house.
I see what you mean, Stealth. While you're busy pointing fingers at others for being bad players, you're also being perceived as a bad player yourself.
