Yes..how you play your OWN hand is critically important. It is just that the probability of you or the dealer getting one of the 13 cards in the deck does not depend on who goes to the bathroom or who plays dumb. We all have a 1 out of 3.2 chance of drawing a ten pointer at any one time, for instance. Although the composition of a multideck game will change this play by play in miniscule degrees...we can neither know by the draw or lack of draw of an anchor whether it will help or hurt. In fact, it has exactly a 50 % of doing either--which is to say it is irrelevant. Still...I do not sit at anchor. I would not want to give the dealer the cards that he needs by x-raying the deck and his hand and then busting myself "for the table"!
