Why not splitting 4's

[Mackhack]

Hi,

why shouldn't 4s be splitted according to the BS?

I'm just wondering why. Does anyone has a good explanation or something with math to explain it?

Thank you!

If the game allows DAS, then you DO split them against a dealer 5 and 6.

After a Split?

If you're asking about DAS, it means double after split. So if you are allowed to double after split, it is basic strategy to split 4's against a dealer 5 and 6.

Hi ScottH,

where did you get this info from? I never saw and learned this from BS!

Apparently you don't know BS for DAS! zg

It is not wrong it is just that that is not a very important play and they were simplifying it for you to use in all games.

Well ok, that's a good statement. I will use the BS generator from here and see what else is different.

I can't lose only gain mor knowledge!

Look at the bottom of page 30!

There are three main rules which will alter basic strategy.

1. Number of decks
2. Hit soft 17 or stand on soft 17
3. DAS or NDAS

Plus Surrender will also require basic changes.
