Before everyone thinks I'm an idiot, hear me out. I have been playing for 40 years and I ALWAYS play BS. I started with Thorpe and have stayed current. Recently a young player asked me, why he should'nt split 10's vs dealer 5/6. I told him what I had been told, that his sure 20 was going to win more hands than his unsure 10/10. He then pointed out that if he had 10 vs. 5-6, he would always double. If so, why not split the hands. You now have two hands with 10 and the dealer has an up 5/6 up.
I've been thinking about this scenario and I am now not so sure, that I wouldn't do this, especially if I was the only one at the table. I wouldn't want to be called stupid by the whole table.
Even, if I can win more hands by not splitting, maybe you can win more $$$ by splitting? What are your thoughts?
