Blackjack Split 10s 5,7/10 1529 reviews

In 11 of the remaining instances, you tie with the dealer and win in the other 11 cases, which means standing earns you roughly $6.78 per hand (provided that you use a bet unit of $10). If you choose to split your 10s, your average expected win rate per round decreases to around $5.60 for both hands combined. In general, never. The reason is intuitively pretty obvious. You’ve got a total of hard 20. This is a very good total. The average profit for standing on a hard twenty is about $.56 for every dollar wagered. That’s pretty good odds.

Split 10s vs dealer 6,5,4 when the count calls for it?
Worried about heat at all?
Is it a big or small loss of opportunity if you chose not to?

I'd say do it! I never felt any heat doing it, and redoing it. Actually it's more like cover, but where I play sometimes people split 10s, but they are the opposite of an AP if you know what I mean... so that's what the dealer/pit thinks of you when you do that. I haven't met anybody there that actually knows it is the best play in certain circumstances!
It depends on where you play. Your spread will get you heat not splitting 10s. I think it's a pretty considerable loss of opportunity!
Sure those counts don't happen often but when they do you got your max bets out, and when it comes it comes in groups, meaning if you have 10s vs 4,5,6 and you split, there is a good chance you will get to split again.

It REALLY depends on your situation... If you're not a pro, on a trip, etc, etc (i.e. you don't care much about the place you're at) then split away. When you are a pro, it gets even more situational... EV vs Longevity has been long discussed and there are cases for both sides. In the end you have to take the potential rewards and weigh them against the potential risks and see if it's right for you. There is no straight answer of yes or no always, in my opinion.

There are only two types of players that split 10s; stupid people and card counters. If the pit looks like they're on to you yet tolerating you it is probably best to avoid the move. If you do it, and after the play the suit is looking at you like he knows your soul, it is probably best to avoid the play again. It all depends on the temprature, if you know what I mean.

I only split tens when the guy next to me is smoking a cigar. Under those conditions , I also tend to stand on fours and pass gas as much as possible.

I regretfully have never split tens in over 500 hours of card-counting blackjack play. I have never been at a place where heat wasn't a concern. If I ever take a trip to the East Coast or Europe where I don't plan on making a trip back anytime soon I think I will make it my goal to try to split tens. I must say that my favorite play in blackjack is staying on a 15 v 10 and winning when hitting would have busted me. I can't imagine how much I will enjoy splitting tens at a TC of 8 or 9 :)

Blackjack Split 10 And Jack

I'm not afraid to split 10's when called for, but only if the floor is distracted elsewhere. I'll even double on it if an Ace hits one of them and the count is right!

Blackjack Never Split 10s

It's been a long while (I don't count anymore), but if memory servers me right, it's either +7 or +8 TC Hi Lo. I'm sure someone will give the exact number.

DUHHIIIIIIIII HEARD THAT!
