Heat when Splitting 10s?

Someone brought up an interesting point. When sitting on a table and a fellow player takes it upon themselves to point out how splitting 10s is always a stupid play (thus bringing attention to you); I imagine there could be several variations of these: an angry player, someone genuinely trying to help, etc...

How do you respond?

Depends

If he makes a comment about it when you are in a big positive count and you have a big bet out go with it. If you lose say "man that was stupid; why dont you keep your f%cking mouth shut ya see what bad luck you brought me; A$$hole!"
If you win the big bet be aware; watch for the run for the phone; or the suits and get ready to grab the chips and run. I ussually tell the idiot " hey you should be a sports announcer you have a big enough mouth. Or every time they make a stupid move against basic strategy I make noise about thier screwwing up the flow for everyone else. I also play with a team and we put pressure on big mouths. Everyone complains about his bitching calling him bad luck. If you run and hide the pit will notice you as a danger. If you go on the defensive then you may be left alone.
