    The single dumbest play I have ever seen

    More Splitting

    I don't see "why not" either. Unfornately, however, I really need a definitive answer: Can I re-split a slpit 16, and can I split a pair that came from a split 16? I know... sounds strange... but I need to know...

    More Splitting

    The other day, in regards to splitting, QFIT provided this link, http://www.qfit.com/blackjack-rules-split.htm which was extremely helpful, but has raised questions concerning the "Split Any 16" rule. I’ve searched the web over for an answer to these questions, but to no avail, so I’m...

    Doubling Down

    Sorry for all the seemingly "simple" questions, gang, but I have a specific reason for asking all of these. This one is regards to doubling-down. ONLY on the first two cards? Or could one double-down after receiving, say, a 3 on a 3-5 hand (three cards totaling 11)?

    Can someone explain?

    That's the part I was missing. I see that on the engine on this site now, but many other sites make no mention of hitting if DD is not allowed. Rather confusing... seemed to make the cards say two different things... :confused: OK, thanks. That answers my question.

    Can someone explain?

    I've been looking at a lot of strategry cards on a lot of sites (to include the strategy engine on this site), and I've observed something that just doesn't make any sense to me, unless there's something blatently obvious that I just don't know. Supposed I've got Ace-6, and the dealer is...
