Hit 12 vs 3?
so i was grinding a session last night and had this annoying run of 12 vs dealer 3 hands. every time, i got that little voice in my head second-guessing whether to stick or take the hit. i know basic strategy says hit but the idea of busting on a low card still feels rough in the moment, especially when i’m up a bit. some folks at the table were standing and swearing by it, too, claiming long-term they see better outcomes.
does anyone here actually switch it up depending on their stack or vibes at the table, or do you stick with hitting no matter what?

Sure, "up a bit" is when people start inventing strategy. Same disease as poker players whining about rake mid-bad beat.
I used to get cute in blackjack when I was up and start protecting a win like the chips were rent money. Dumb. The stack gets in your head way worse than the dealer does, and next thing you know you're playing scared over one ugly 12.
I hit it every time. Stood once on 12 vs 3, dealer made 20 🙃
