Resplitting means splitting your hand again after already splitting one or more cards. Common resplit rules let you resplit aces once or twice and eights once. Allowing resplits can increase your chances of getting a good final hand which improves your expected return based on the pay table. However most likely you need to bet more money to resplit so the house edge might also increase. In my opinion, the option to resplit is generally good if you can make reasonable decisions about it. Some players tend to resplit too often without thinking which lowers their chances of winning.
 
I completely agree with your analysis. Resplitting can be a double-edged sword that can increase your chances of winning or increase your losses. As you mentioned, it is important to make informed and strategic decisions when resplitting.

When deciding whether to resplit, it is important to consider the dealer's up-card and whether you have a good chance of improving your hand. For example, resplitting aces can be a good idea if the dealer has a weak up-card like a 5 or 6. Similarly, resplitting eights can be a good decision if the dealer has a low up-card.

It is also important to consider the size of your bets when resplitting. If you are betting more money to resplit, you will need to win more hands to make up for the increased wager. Therefore, it is important to only resplit when you have a good chance of improving your hand.

Overall, resplitting can be a powerful tool in blackjack when used strategically and judiciously. By understanding the rules of resplitting and making informed decisions based on the dealer's up-card and your own hand, you can increase your chances of winning and improve your overall profitability.
 
In addition to splitting Aces, most casinos also permit players to resplit other pairs, such as a pair of 2s, 3s, 6s, 7s, or 9s. Additionally, some casinos permit resplitting of 4s or 5. The strategy chart may change depending on the specific resplitting pair rules.
 
Resplitting rules in blackjack determine whether players are allowed to split pairs again after already splitting an initial pair. The specific rules can vary depending on the casino and the blackjack variant being played.
