The Ultimate Play

Anyone ever split faces 4 times (technically it's 3 times but in terms of house math, they call it 4 for some bizarre reason) or as many as the house will allow? Naturally the count is way up there and the dealer is showing 5 or 6. Bryce says to do it. Worried about "heat".

P.S. How about catching some aces with the faces for some really extreme doubling opportunities? Can it be done successfully without going directly to jail? Any takers? :-o So who's gonna be the first in the world to make the most perfect and supreme single black jack play ever? Starting with four split faces and ending up with catching faces on each doubled soft 21. 1st one to do it and live through it is "DA MAN". :) Some of us just gotta dream big! Comments always welcomed and enjoyed.

I never split tens. It is probably the play that is guaranteed to get you noticed. The ploppies may even lynch you if they're liquored up enough.

I split tens. I admit it! I do it! Once while playing a lucrative six decker I had a high tc of 8 and I bet $50. I recieved two face cards. The dealer had 6 up. I split em. The ploppies gasped the dealer said "are you sure about dat". I said "yeah, what the hel$ its only money". One ploppy swore at me. The dealer dealt me two aces. I looked up at the swearing ploppy and said "and your point sir". He got up and left in a huff. There are numerous times when you can do it. So if you can; DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've doubled down on T-T vs. 6. Yep, you guessed it, the next card was an Ace.

Now, that one brought some heat!

Ugh I think you meant to say "split". Why dont you ever do this when I'm around
And why when we play at the same table you win and I lose????? Ploppy Jimmy says your just lucky and he has the inside luck move and carries his voodoo doll from now on!
