When You Can Split Pairs
When you're splitting a pair, you're taking your hand and turning it into 2 new hands. You put up another bet for the new hand, and this bet is always the same as your original bet. To signal the dealer that you're splitting your cards, you separate them and put a new wager on one of them. When it's your turn to act, you get to play out both hands, win or lose. Some casinos allow you to split again if you receive another card that's identical to the first 2, and some casinos do not allow this. When you split aces, you're only allowed to take one additional card for each ace. Blackjack Splitting Strategy Tip
