NLfool,

Were you serious about not splitting Aces?

yes. I've never read a book and I'm in the hole, like to the tune of probably 30k+ just between party and paradise. So like I said I wouldn't listen to me.

No empirical evidence but with an 8 showing his chances of having a made hand is about 50/50 A,K,Q,J,T,9 a 2,3 or 4 isn't exactly bad for the dealer either. But the main drawback as I've experienced is you only get 1 card and seriously the times I've split AA I've never hit a T (so I don't even know if they pay you 1 1/2 )

C'mon, you always split aces and eights...everyone knows that.

like I said I suck. I've seen my friend split it like 3 or 4 times but that was against a 6. He was positive 50k and change splitting all the time and doubling down on the weirdest sh1t (weird to me, probably proper strategy, I don't know) at BJ but course blew that in a couple days.
