At the Casino I play at you cannot hit after splitting aces, only double down. Does this change my basic strategy? What should I do if I get like an Split Ace and a 2 vs. Dealer 2?
Most casinos ONLY ALLOW 1 CARD to split Aces. zgSenacchrib said:At the Casino I play at you cannot hit after splitting aces, only double down. Does this change my basic strategy? What should I do if I get like an Split Ace and a 2 vs. Dealer 2?
I was playing at the Plaza a while back and split Aces with topBet out v. 4 - got 7 on the first one and when the dealer paused for instruction I saw a chance to make a move - I doubled - 2nd Ace got a 6, doubled - dealer pulled 20 and won both and as she reached to scoop my chips I said wide-eyed "Oh, wait, I forgot - I'm not allowed to DAS with Aces!" Pit boss declared it a dead hand.aussiecounter said:If you are allowed to double down on a split ace hand, do whatever your BS chart says to do. Is this a rare rule, or have I just missed it?

Those kinds of opportunities arise daily if you THINK FAST! zg
