Default Doubling after Splitting Aces

If I am allowed to double on one or both of my Aces after they each recieve one card after a split, how much advantage does that add to my side?

Also, would I just use BS to decide whether or not to double depending on the hand total I have and the dealers upcard?

Is there a live casino on this planet that will allow double after splitting aces?

Turtle Creek Casino in Traverse City, MI.

"If you split a pair of aces, you will receive only one card on each of the hands. However, you may "double down" and receive 1 more card on each ace."

play it like you have two 11 hands I would assume. Same advantage you always have on an 11. 6 to 5 odds against a ten, Double against ace at +1 TC.

Default wow

every casino i have ever been to does not allow that. you can double down on the two aces (two or twelve) or you can split and get one card each.
the end!

I've seen it in Central America.I'd think it has to be a very big advantage.But the other rules for the game might negate it.

hmmm

if you double on

A2 VS 5.6
A3 VS 5.6
A4 VS 4.5.6
A5 VS 4.5.6
A6 VS 3.4.5.6
A7 VS 2-6 D/S

oh A8 VS 6 on a H17 table you may want to double or stand..


Depends what your count is.

Thats not his question. In this casino,when you split Aces,you can DD on them,then draw a card. Not draw a card and then double down.

Sure you would play it just like a hard 11. I've seen this rule in a couple of places in Northern Michigan and it's a good one. But it's not spectacular, after all you are only getting a pair of aces 1 out of 191 hands in a DD game.
