Last night a ploppy split 5 times a pair of tens against a 3. So he had 6 tens in six hands and finished with 16s to 19s. The dealer closed the round with a 20! All the bets gone! Very funny situation for everybody except for the ploppy!
What a coincidence! Probably it was me but I need to make some correction on this story. Last night I played 2 hands and dealer shown a 4. I split all my ten pairs and finished with 12s to 20s, most 20s (14,20,20, 16,20,20). However somehow the dealer managed to draw a few cards to 20, too. The true count was +15. Dropped to +11 when I finished splitting. For a 6 deck game, it is a rare opportunity as it is far above the threshold +6. How can I not split tens? (Normally I split tens against 4 when true count is +8, 2 notches above the index, unless I won a lot in the session then I split tens at +6).
