    Doubling after Splitting Aces

    Gotcha, I think I will wear my Billybob teeth and shabby overalls to add to the effect, when I pull this stunt! No seriously thanks for the explanation. HTS

    Doubling after Splitting Aces

    I suppose in either case it could be obvious to the pit...but why then use doubling on 12 as a cover, since it is such an obvious waste of money? For fun yes but if it draws unwanted attention than it defeats the purpose. Yes?

    Doubling after Splitting Aces

    Isn't it obvious to the pitbosses that this is a cover play? I would think it would only draw attention to the player that he is trying to cover himself...

    Doubling after Splitting Aces

    I generally never consider doubling for less. When is it advantageous to do this? Thank you

    Thanks MGP, but help me out here, some of the lingo on this site I am not familiar with. What is TD? Is there a lingo link I can be linked up with? I am uncertain of what you said in regards to splitting and than doubling the ACES and or the 10's. The chart does not cover that. Is there...

    Help assess these BJ rules

    They do not get a hole card until everyone is done with their hitting, IF the dealer does get a BJ they will take the entire split or dd bets so it is NOT a good idea to split or dd against a 10 or an ace in my opinion based on that fact alone. I would be more apt to surrender splitable 8's and...

    Your terminology is foreign to me. ENHC? You can only split the Aces one time. Insofar as non aces you can split up to four times. What I did not find out is IF I split tens could I dd on the one card ten but I am thinking that I could since they allowed it for the ACE. Thank you

    When do you stop playing for the day?

    If I hit my goal I quit. I once drove 1 hour 45 minutes to Pechanga casino in San Diego County. I gambled for 20 minutes and left. I still had the urge but as I drove further and further away I felt better and better about leaving when I did!

    full rules are double any 2 cards and double off the split is allowed dealer hits soft 17 6 decks early surrender i think you could double down with one card with the 10s and I am positive you can do a double down with the split aces prior to recieving your second card.

    Doubling after Splitting Aces

    You got it wrong guys! No, No! 1.You have a pair of Aces, 2. You split them 3. You immediately double down before receiving any cards. You only get 1 card on the aces regardless of weather you split them or not. Seems like a great rule but as someone else pointed out it only happens...

    Just got back from a trip to S. America. I played BJ in several Casinos in Barranquilla Colombia. I found the rules to be incredible. There was a true early surrender with the dealers ACE showing. Also if the player split aces you could than double down on each ACE, so as to have 4 times...
