Advanced Blackjack Strategy:Advanced Blackjack Strategy:
As with the double down strategy above, some hands will make or break you. Don’t split 5’s and don’t split 10’s.
With 5s you are converting a hand that should be valued as a 10 and splitting it into two hands of 5 each. If you are dealt a 7,8,9 or 10, you will have problems. When you have two 10 value cards, you are asking for trouble by taking a nice hand of 20 and doubling your bet and opening up the possibility of being dealt 2-7 value cards twice. This occurs quite frequently.
Your goal is to maximize your opportunities. You want to split Aces. After splitting aces in most online casinos, you are allowed only one card after you split. Ideally you would like a 10 value for each hand.
If you do not split your Aces, you have a cumulative hand value of 2. At this point, if you are dealt two 10-value cards in a row, which is not unusual, you will bust. Secondarily, you want to maximize your opportunities by turning a single wager into twice that amount
