Splitting Tens.

[aslan]

I had 4 opportunities to split tens here on my vegas trip, one time at a 25 dollar shoe, I pulled the trigger. Another time at a 50 dollar DD. I had just doubled soft 19 with a pc watching my game so I opted not to pull the trigger there.

Then it happened....I'm playing heads up staring at a 4 playing two hand of DD and I went ahead and pulled the trigger on hand one, caught a duece, then I got another ten...resplit...another duece...third ten comes out, resplit....pull an ace, and the last card on the 4th hand was another ten, but I couldn't split, at this point the dealer called the attention of the floor, fortunately the stupid one came over and I told her I didn't fly 3000 miles to pussyfoot and I am here to gamble, she wished me luck....and went on to say to talk about how rarely this works. I pulled up my second hand, and you know what I found? TWO MORE TENS! Now you guys can argue here the TC was still 9 and I could have split them also, but I didn't pull the trigger, I just tucked em so nobody could see. I won all 750 in bets.

I know it means nothing, but did you see what would have happened if you had resplit that last time?

I would have got a ten, and resplit, lol but it was the last hand of the shoe so I couldn't be sure beyond that

It sounds like you had a great time despite going down in flames. I'll bet your mind is already spinning and whirring and figuring out what you'll do on the next trip. Too bad about the back offs, but I doubt you'll have any trouble playing unrated when you return.

He'll double the soft 21. zg

They allow that? :laugh:

Oh I know they will allow it after I joked to dealer about doubling a bj, and he pulled back the chips to confirm that I did or did not want to double before he payed me., he then explained that he sees it usually once per day.

So at what point does doubling soft 21vs4 as attained from splitting tens become +EV? With and without h17. H17 has to make a measurable diff on this I would think.

Theres a cowboy in Laughlin that always doubles his blackjacks. He figures it's a lucky hand so you want more money on the table.
