BJ player: splitting tens + ace = BJ, house edge?
Hallo,
i have another question. I play in a casino, where splitting tens and then receiving an ace is a BJ.
What is the house edge(6 decks)about, what is the additional edge for a CC?
I think splitting them against a 5 and 6 is Ok, but what about 7, 8 or 9 ?
What about against 2,3 and 4 ?
Thanks

For the BS player, this rule doesn't give enough extra edge to warrant splitting tens against any dealer upcard. So, for BS alone, you wouldn't split.

As you probably know, the Hi-Lo multi-deck indices for splitting tens vs. dealer's upcards of 2-8, respectively, are: 11, 8, 6, 5, 4, 13, 20. Now, if it is not correct BS to split, even against 5 and 6 (and it isn't!), then we can safely assume that the rule doesn't lower the indices by as much as, say, 4. That being the case, I would guess that, as a card counter, you could split vs. 4-6 with moderate plus counts but that it wouldn't be correct to split vs. any other upcards, except maybe 3, with TC = +5 or so.
It certainly would not be right to split vs. 7, 8, or 9.
