Blackjack Strategy Splitting Pairs

[Mike_25]

Splitting pairs can be a very effective strategy, but it's important to know when to do it. For example, a pair of aces should always be split because they give you the chance to get two blackjacks. A pair of eights should also be split because they make a weak hand, but two 8s give you the chance to make two stronger hands. On the other hand, a pair of 10s should never be split because it's already a strong hand worth 20 points.

When you split a pair, you're essentially doubling your bet and playing two hands instead of one. This can increase your chances of winning, but it also means that you're risking more money. You need to be careful and use this strategy wisely.

As a blackjack guru, I always recommend being familiar with the specific rules of the game you're playing. Different games may have different rules for splitting pairs, or they may not allow it at all. So, it's always a good idea to make sure you know the rules before you start playing.

Overall, splitting pairs is a great strategy to have in your blackjack toolkit. It can be exciting, it can increase your chances of winning, but it's also important to use it wisely. So, next time you're dealt a pair, remember to think carefully before deciding whether or not to split them.

Receive Additional Card(s): Once the pair is split, the dealer will deal an additional card to the first split hand. You will play this hand independently from the other split hand(s). After completing the first hand, the dealer will then deal an additional card to the next split hand, and so on, if applicable.

You should always split a pair of aces, as this gives you a chance to get two hands that have a value of 21. You should also split a pair of 8s, as this gives you two hands that have a value of 16, which is a much better starting point than having a single hand of 16.
