Note: The actual win percent to two decimal places is But when your 16 happens to be a pair of 8s, you have an escape: you can split and play each 8 against the Why would you want to do this?
Because when you play an 8 against a 10, you stand to win this hand more times Can I repeat that again With me? An ace can count as either a 1 or an 11, so you could play either of those values. Or, you could add the 1 and the 11 to total twelve. If you draw a ten-value card against that 12, you will bust immediately at twenty-two!
Splitting Aces offers two chances for the strongest hand in the game. But splitting Aces every time is mathematically the best move possible, against any possible dealer up-card. Together, your cards total 16—the weakest, most dangerous hand in Blackjack. The most likely single card to draw in any situation is a 10 card, as mentioned, because each deck has more cards than any other value.
Draw a 10 against your two 8s, combining for 16, and you bust. As a matter of fact, any card over 5 will bust you. You made the correct move to split from the perspective of expected value. There is an index for standing 88 v T and it is fairly high. Ryemo Well-Known Member Nov 27, So I would say split is the correct play. Zee, had you won the hand, would you still question the play?
I know I've seen you make this identical post in the past on a different site. I believe you received good advice back then. Hopefully this time around, you'll actually retain the information.

Was that a good move? The re-splitting happens so infrequently on that hand against a 10 that perhaps, the first split might have been okay, the second might not. You can work out on your own which of the two plays is the best one. Even though the cases where players can get a second pair of 8s are rare, as previously indicated, they should be prepared for every hand. In such situations, it is worth remembering that the same strategy applies every time they get a pair of cards of the same rank.
If players happen to get another pair of 8s after the split, it is best to resplit them if allowed. Bear in mind that as the rules of the casinos differ, some places may have restrictions regarding this move.
The fact that sometimes there are restrictions on resplitting shows that this move can be very favourable to players as long as they know how and when to take advantage of it. It is crucial to get familiar with the casino rules for blackjack before you play since this way, you will avoid changing your strategy and making less optimal plays. For instance, if players get a second pair of 8s and they want to resplit it but this move is not allowed, the chances that they will misplay this hand are very high.
The best blackjack variants normally enable you to resplit your 8s three times to up to four individual hands. Another very reasonable move players can make is to surrender, provided that this option is allowed. The reason why is that having a total of 16 is a breaking hand, which will almost certainly cause them to go bust. By surrendering, they will at least be able to get half of their money back in such a disadvantageous situation.
If possible, surrendering your 8s is advisable against the ace in double-deck and multiple-deck blackjack games where the dealer must draw to soft
